[Bug 355743] Re: [GMA X4500HD] Periodically freezes system on startup

[Nikolaus Rath]

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel
  
  On  average every second X11 startup freezes my Dell Vostro 220s with
- GMA X4500HD. The screen just goes blank and nothing happens anymore.
+ GMA X4500HD.  The screen goes blank and the system is completely frozen.
  Changing to a text console with Strg-Alt-F1 or killing the server with
- Ctrl-Alt-Backspace does not work either. A mouse pointer is not shown.
- The keyboard leds are not changing when pressing Caps or NumLock. This
- habens both for normal startups and for resume from hibernation.
+ Ctrl-Alt-Backspace does not work. A mouse pointer is not shown. The
+ keyboard leds are not changing when pressing Caps or NumLock. I can not
+ ssh into the system since apparently it does not even have time to
+ request an IP address from the DHCP server before it freezes. A soft
+ power down does not work either, the only way to shut down the computer
+ is to press the power button for several seconds.

+ This habens both for normal startups and for resume from hibernation.
  Quitting usplash and changing to text mode with Alt-F1 during boot does
  not prevent the problem.
  
- I'm trying to get another computer to try to ssh into this machine. I'll
- attach the information as soon as I find one.
+ Although it does not happen on every boot, the problem tends to stick
+ for a while once it is there:  I usually get around 3 crashes in a row
+ before I can boot properly again.
  
  I'm using Intrepid.
