Actually, as of linux-image-2.6.31-11-generic version 2.6.31-11.38, even my initramfs-tools workaround doesn't work anymore.
Without having read the relevant kernel source, I'd still venture that one of the following causes might be our culprit: 1) the kernel doesn't offer management of module loading order dependencies (unlikely, but you never know). 2) the kernel offers management of module loading order dependencies, but KMS-related modules don't use it (unlikely, but you never know). 3) the kernel offers management of module loading order dependencies, KMS-related modules use it, but in an incorrect way. 4) the kernel offers management of module loading order dependencies, but it is broken, so all attempts by KMS-related modules to use it fail miserably. Basically, we need a systematic method for loading modules and their dependencies in a predictable order, always. Right now, either we're lacking this or what we have doesn't work as intended. -- agpgart-intel not loaded before drm sometimes, causes KMS to fail https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/430694 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
