[Bug 55104] panic/lock/restart on dapper-amd64 if there's intel integrated video AND a nvidia card at the same time

[Alexandre Otto Strube]

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?
