[Bug 759104] Re: 8086:2a42 [gm45] Upgrade to Natty wont load

 

johnlon, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any
activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If
so, could you please test for this with the latest development release
of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com
/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal
(Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.13-rc1

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

Title:
  8086:2a42 [Acer Aspire 5736Z] Upgrade to Natty wont load

Status in X.org xf86-video-intel:
  Incomplete
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: xorg

  I upgraded to Natty via the Update Manager, and got to reboot and
  clicked on the kernal, and everything went black screen. Nothing
  works. Tried installing from fresh install, as soon as the cd was put
  in, screen went black, nothing happened. Funny thing though, I can
  enter Natty via Use older kernal option, and everything loads, so it
  works on the old driver, not the new one.
