Public bug reported: I've been tracking the Karmic alpha. In the past couple of days, an update broke the boot and now the laptop hangs at a black screen.
Adding 'i915.modeset=0' to the kernel command line fixes the problem. So it could perhaps be a KMS issue :) ProblemType: Bug Architecture: i386 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: sam 2245 F.... pulseaudio CRDA: Error: command ['iw', 'reg', 'get'] failed with exit code 1: nl80211 not found.
