Brian, as posted in bug #420594 lucid has been hanging on i845G on this IBM ThinkCentre A30 2 gHz Celeron. Example linux-image 2.6.32-7 and 2.6.32-9 boot to black screen however Ctrl-Alt-F1 gets a command line.
Geir Ove Myhr gave me info on things to try from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ and this one is working at the moment: linux-image-2.6.33-020633rc2-generic_2.6.33-020633rc2_i386.deb -7 and -9 still fail most of the time. When it did boot, after a while the screen would freeze altogether which is more like this bug #406460. Do note I did do a fresh install with a linux CD at the -7 level; I had to key in an xorg.conf to get the CD to go. So 2.6.33rc2 is up and hasn't frozen; I've been running about an hour.
