[Bug 570328] Re: No image during boot/shutdown, small terminals appear

[Steve Langasek]

Thank you for taking the time to report this issue and help to improve
Ubuntu.

The behavior change since beta1 is a change in linux to disable KMS by
default on the i8xx series intel video chips, as a workaround for
various X crashes (bug #542208, bug #563277).  If X was stable for you
with the previous kernel, you can add 'i915.modeset=1' to your boot
options to restore the previous behavior.

Aside from this, any issues with the display under the current kernel
are probably bugs in your video hardware's support for displaying a
640x480 VGA console; there's probably not much we can do to help for
this, short of being able to turn KMS back on by default.

Reassigning to the kernel.

** Package changed: plymouth (Ubuntu) => linux (Ubuntu)
