I was also affected by this bug with: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device (rev 02)
After upgrading from Karmic, the system would deadlock when starting X. Forcing KMS back on seems to fix the problem for me, although I won't have time for stability tests for a few days (but at least X comes up and everything seems fine). Passing i915.modeset=0 did NOT work, but following Workaround A from [1] did, i.e. I forced KMS by adding options i915 modeset=1 to a file in /etc/modprobe.d and running update-initramfs -u.
