Despite my initially optimistic comment before, I was unable to find a
version of Ubuntu that was stable on my Acer AS7740-5691, which uses the
HM55 chipset, until I installed 10.4 with kernel 2.6.34-020634rc6, which
has been up continuously for the six days since I installed it, so
there's reason
When swapping the kernel out, how do you get to see a shell prompt from
which to run dpkg in the first place? Is it necessary to build a custom
boot disk as described at
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallCDCustomization , or am I
overlooking an easy answer to this?

Just a confirm -- I too run an HM55 chip set system that yields a blank
screen, whether run normally or in safe mode, when I attempt to run
ubuntu-9.10-desktop-amd64.iso off the install disk. In my case, the

immediately after I open
My problem was solved by adding irqpoll to the grub bootup options -- an

to work out-of-the-box... I haven't determined whether the same issue
exists in the newly-released official version of 6.10.

I'm assuming that two people suffering from apparently the same problem
is sufficient basis to call a bug confirmed...

So to the best of my knowledge, I have encountered the same bug that
Jussi did. Additional details are at the linked
