[k3lt01 <566379@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This bug was reported nearly 3.5 years ago. 10.04 has reached EOL. It
was the only version of Ubuntu I had the problem with. I haven't used
Ubuntu since 11.10 so I do not know what the newer versions are like
with regards to this bug (if it has come back or not). Just as a side
note, after leaving Ubuntu for Linux Mint LMDE and then moving to Debian
Stable (Lenny, Squeeze and now Wheezy along with running Testing and
Sid) I used Squeeze for its entire Stable life and used it while it was
testing as well and it never had this problem at all.

It seems to me that this was a bug in Ubuntu (and derivatives) and not
in Debian so unless there is a very good reason for Ubuntu to still be
using 2.6.32 I won't be testing this after such a time frame has passed
by. It seems a pity that it takes 3.5 years to enquire if it has been
fixed (especially when posts above from 3.5 years ago show what needed
to be done).

  8086:3582 [i855] X doesn't start with kernel 2.6.32-21 unless passing

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: plymouth

  Plymouth is broken on my laptop after updating to the new kernel
  (2.6.32-21). I can get into Lucid with 2.6.32-20 with no problems and
  Plymouth works and looks like it should but with 2.6.32-21 Plymouth
  takes up the entire screen and then the laptop wont go any further. No
  hdd activity, nothing.

  Reboot and select recovery mode for 2.6.32-21, then FailsafeX, and
  then select low graphics mode and everything is fine, infact it looks
  like the graphics are normal.

  Have tried reinstalling the kernel with no difference, also tried
  reinstalling plymouth and still no difference. I am currently working
  in kernel 2.6.32-21 in Low Graphics mode. The only things I can see by
  going into Recovery > FailsafeX > Low Graphics is that Plymouth is
  bypassed thus allowing the laptop to start.

  If you need anymore information please ask.
