I had a similar issue with 2.6.28-8 after an update just recently. In my case, udev was broken (I must've interrupted dpkg/apt-get/aptitude during an update, and /sbin/udevadm.upgrade was not properly upgraded and moved to /sbin/udevadm - I had messages reporting the lack of /sbin/udevadm during bootup).
After I manually did dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/udev_139-1_i386.deb, the problem dissapeared and once again X etc worked fine for me. -- [i915] failed to load kernel module "i915" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/313300 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
