Package: linux-image-2.6.32-5-686 Version: 2.6.32-15 I had this problem on Squeeze after dist-upgrading with Synaptic 2010-06-13. After a few seconds, the screen turns black with random horizontal gray garbage, and the system hangs totally (keyboard leds included). After several reboots, I've seen the last line on screen was related to drm. I've experimented a little bit and found that passing "radeon.modeset=0" to the kernel command line, the system works as before.
My system is based on an AMD Sempron 3200+ with a Sapphire X1300 graphics card. FWIW I use the radeonhd driver on Xorg. I suspect linux-image is not the right package for this report, since it entered testing on 2010-06-11 and it ran fine for the subsequent two days. Unfortunately I'm not skilled enough to be able to find a suitable package in those entered on 2010-06-13. Since then, the problem shows even if I boot the previous linux-image-2.6.32-3-686, the "rescue (single user) mode" does not help. Please let me know if I can help tracing this.
