Same problem here. Kernel 2.6.31-19 Intel i915 onboard video card. I can only boot with setting GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="nomodeset" and GRUB_TERMINAL=console in /etc/default/grub then sudo update-grub and reboot
If I set GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480 and GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD=keep, I can see BRUB and my monitro tells that it is 640x480, but after the GRUB - nothing. And this "nothing" differs depending on grub settings. It may leave GRUB menu on screen, while boot normally (I can connect to the station via SSH) or it may start booting normally in 640x480, but then, right after "Loading keymap and console fonts" the screen goes off. I took me 3 days to determine that nomodeset solves (partially) my problem. Since this is just a silent file serever, I'm OK with the text console. But I would be happy to have full functionality on it. -- i915: black screen on boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/431812 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
