Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6-amd64-generic
On machines with the following integrated video card
0000:00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82865G
Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)
if you insert a nVidia video card onto its AGP slot, it will panic.
Blacklisting intel_agp in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist works, but for this
you need to have the machine booted without the nvidia board, so you can
actually write this line (which invalidates live cd)
Letting intel_agp always blacklisted will make X to loose the 3d
acceleration on those machines which aren't using an external card.
Blacklisting the module before restricted modules load doesn't work, as
the root filesystem is still read-only.
What would be the correct way to deal with this issue?
** Affects: linux-meta (Ubuntu)
