[Bug 518623] Re: VIA KM400: Black screen after boot, no text console possible

[Irihapeti]

This is sounding very similar to the problems I'm encountering in bug
499399. I can't boot a Lucid install unless I use the Karmic kernel. If
I try a Lucid kernel (or other Ubuntu mainline kernel >= 2.6.32) I get
boot messages like those in Paul van Genderen's message above, stopping
at the same point. It makes no difference whether it's command-line only
or a full install.

Removing Plymouth didn't achieve anything useful.

In my case, lspci shows: 
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. CN896/VN896/P4M900 [Chrome 9 HC] (rev 01)
Not the same, but similar?

I don't have an add-on graphics board to test with.

I can boot other distros which use the 2.6.32 kernel. I conclude
therefore that it's not the 2.6.32 kernel per se, but something in the
way in which the Ubuntu versions are configured.
