** Description changed:
I have HP t5000 thin client. Everything works on Edubuntu 7.10 Classroom
Server.
On Hardy Alternate Beta 8.04 it fails to boot. It flashes green screen
and after that boot itself again.
Just before green screen flash t5000 says this: "memory size detection
failed"
Here is Flash-movie about booting process:
http://www.arkki.info/howto/Wiki/T5000_Hardy_32.flv
There is similar bug filed for MythTV:
"Summary: Both the kernel vt8623fb driver and the Xorg via driver should
be changed to correctly determine the amount of video memory."

Best Regards Asmo Koskinen

+ ===
+
+ SRU Justification
+
+ Justification: systems with the vt8623fb driver crash on boot if the
+ vt8623fb driver is loaded
+
+ Impact: system crash
+
+ Fix Description: blacklist the vt8623fb driver in the framebuffer
+ blacklist
+
+ Patch: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/22416917/module-init-tools
+ --blacklist-vt8623fb-framebuffer-intrepid
+
+ Risks: anyone specifically using this driver would have to unblacklist
+ it, we normally blacklist these drivers by default this one is missing
+ from the list
+
+ TEST CASE: see bug description
