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
