After upgrading from kernel 2.6.34-12.3 (that comes on the installation disk) to a newer kernel (2.6.34.7-0.3.1) via online update I only get a blank screen after booting (system boots "normally" though). Only when using nomodeset as kernel parameter screen is working properly. Went back and forth between kernels and result is reproducable each time.
Harware is DELL E6510 with Intel Ironlake graphics adapter.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Upgrade to new kernel via online update
2. reboot -> blank display
3. Use nomodeset as kernel parameter -> display comes back

This is related to Bug #608300. eDP support has been fixed in the kernel
updates 2.6.34.4/2.6.34.7 - at least for other laptops like

- HP Elitebook 2540p (Swatch)
- HP Elitebook <something> (Omega)

I found a related upstream bug:
