Some updates that might help: I decided to dig a bit deeper see where the problems are coming from. I haven't been able to drop down to a console in Ubuntu. It just keeps on freezing. Nor does any other distro seems to be successful in booting 2.6.38. I tried a few.
1) Installed crashbang linux(openbox): Debian squeeze (kernel 2.6.36-6 (liquorix) result: runs fine - no hardware support.) 2) Upgraded crashbang linux(openbox): Debian wheezy (kernel 2.6.36-6 (liquorix) result: runs OK - no hardware support and X crashes when flash video's full screen) (There seems to be a problem with the new Flash support on intel gpu's) 3) Upgrading crashbang linux(openbox): Debian wheezy (kernel 2.6.38-2 result: boots - full hardware support (accept HDMI -output) and I get a full system freeze anywhere between 30 sec and 10min) (It seems to be happening quicker everytime i bootup). It freezes even when I am in console mode. I'm guessing there are conflicts between the new hardware support in the kernel 2.6.38-2 and the intel video driver. What do you think and does anyone else have similar problems? I have been on linux now for over 10 years and I have never seen this kind of fatal crashes ever. I will stick with Crashbang linux for now, but it is a shame to degrade beautiful hardware to a PC in something that is worse then my 6 year old laptop. Please let me know if someone wants some more output on the new kernel from debian.
