Read Matej's comment, so I thought to try something funny: got the daily kernel and headers from kernel.ubuntu.com (after all this aint M$, we can boot more than one kernel).Anyway, same result as before: - Installation, reboot, all works fine. - Log in, log out, reboot to double check. - Vertical coloured bars and unusable system. Hard reset. - Booting with 'nomodeset'. system comes up, but logging on crashes X. - X comes back and I can log on and use my pc.
Linux tom-laptop 2.6.34-999-generic #201003101003 SMP Wed Mar 10 10:10:19 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux I keep wondering why everything seems to work after a kernel upgrade, but just once. After that it's pretty much hopeless. What changes between 2 consecutive boots? Is readahead involved somehow? Is it a race condition tickled by the way, order or speed that some parts are loaded?? cheers, Tom -- [Lucid] ATI KMS causes DRM error on X200M https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/509273 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
