[Floris Van den Abeele <florisvda@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have encountered the same problem on my IBM Thinkpad X40 after upgrading Karmic to Lucid Lynx.
My display adapter :
description: VGA compatible controller
product: 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device

I can confirm that enabling KMS fixed the freezing and now I am able to
boot in a normal manner.

My setup is a bit different though, the i915.modeset=1 gets passed to the kernel by GRUB while booting. This can be acheived by adding 915.modeset=1 to the grub boot options after pressing 'e' in the GRUB menu.
To make these settings persistent edit /etc/defaults/grub and run grub-update.
