A3 finally booted on i845!  Hooray!

e edit the recovery boot line to add "nomodeset"

at recovery mode root prompt, copy in a xorg.conf from previous karmic
since dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg didn't work.  Maybe dpkg is broken.

nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf

add "Driver" "vesa" after Identifier

chmod 644 /boot/grub/grub.cfg

add "nomodeset" to linux line and remove splash, change timeout to 10

reboot    It did!  Sure looks to me like intel driver 2.8.0 is the
problem.

By the way, I did a "fix broken packages"  on another A3 boot image
which updated xserver-xorg-video-intel to 20090724 however it still
doesn't boot.  I'll put nomodeset and vesa on that image too.

If there's another update to 2.8.0 I'll try that.  Just comment out the
"vesa" line and e the linux line at boot to remove nomodeset.

All this doesn't work on the i830 since booting with driver vesa doesn't
work on jaunty or intrepid on the i830 either.
