Not sure, but I may have a different problem at this point? I am not getting far enough to freeze. Ever since the fresh install of Karmic - I always get a black screen on boot just after the white loading ubuntu logo and I never get the login screen. Numlock & caps lock unresponsive. Can't Ctrl+Alt+F1 to terminal. Have to hold in the power button for a hard reset. I've even reverted back to the current versions from the main repository (both xserver-xorg-video-intel & libdrm2). Same results.
Now I am not sure if this is related, but I also get a lot these annoying messages over and over again during boot into recovery- serial 18250: too much work for irq 17 (Sounds like I am not the only one- http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1330029) I tried using the tiling "false" option in the xorg.conf, no difference. So I have tried the steps in this page- https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/BlankScreen Workaround A: Creating an xorg.conf and using the vesa driver - X starts fine and I can login, everything is okay (HUGE but everything works okay) Workaround B: Changing resolutions in xorg.conf - no noticeable difference Workaround C: Disabling usplash - I don't get the white ubuntu logo, but still locks up Not sure what to do at this point. Same issue or something else? I don't want to confuse things further, so if I am too far off here and should create a new bug report, please let me know!
