I have the same problem with an aging Thinkpad X40. Note that kernel 2.6.31-09-generic boots fine with it.
Here is the output of `lspci -vvnn` and `dmesg`. ** Attachment added: "lspci.txt" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/32142331/lspci.txt -- KMS going in black screen during boot with intel video https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/432198 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
