[Bug 585651] [NEW] Cannot install on HP 2540p laptop

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

On attempted boot of a LiveCD image of 10.04 release for initial
installation, the laptop screen goes dark, you hear the disk drive run
for a long time, you hear even the cheery ubuntu sound.  But no video.

If you have an external monitor plugged in, you even get the X
background and cursor on the external screen; but the internal stays
dark.

This may (or may not) be the same as launchpad bug #554569, which is
very similar hardware from IBM and very similar symptoms; but is related
to the use of an embedded DP panel.

The bug is being worked upstream on fdo at 
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28070
[Arrandale] No output (black) on eDP

Attached are the dmesg output and rom contents provided upstream.
