I find this in Gentoo-wiki PreInitDAL failed
Disable framebuffer in kernelconfig, recompile, reboot! This happend as i upgraded from 8.28.8 to 8.32.5. This error may also occur after receiving the EDID information: There is a known bug [2] which has been solved in the 8.32.5. Also, just upgrading to 8.32.5 solved the problem. rmh3093 reported running vbtetool vgamode prior to starting gdm will fix X crashing with framebuffer See post. -- PreInitDAL failed https://launchpad.net/bugs/68739 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
