Not sure, but I may have a different problem at this point?  I am not
getting far enough to freeze. Ever since the fresh install of Karmic - I
always get a black screen on boot just after the white loading ubuntu
logo and I never get the login screen.  Numlock & caps lock
unresponsive.  Can't Ctrl+Alt+F1 to terminal.  Have to hold in the power
button for a hard reset.  I've even reverted back to the current
versions from the main repository (both xserver-xorg-video-intel &
libdrm2).  Same results.

Now I am not sure if this is related, but I also get a lot these annoying messages over and over again during boot into recovery-
serial 18250: too much work for irq 17
(Sounds like I am not the only one- http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1330029)

I tried using the tiling "false" option in the xorg.conf, no difference.

So I have tried the steps in this page-  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/BlankScreen
Workaround A: Creating an xorg.conf and using the vesa driver - X starts fine and I can login, everything is okay (HUGE but everything works okay)
Workaround B: Changing resolutions in xorg.conf - no noticeable difference
Workaround C: Disabling usplash - I don't get the white ubuntu logo, but still locks up

Not sure what to do at this point.  Same issue or something else?  I
don't want to confuse things further, so if I am too far off here and
should create a new bug report, please let me know!  Thanks
