(Get the code!)
I posted the workaround that Shriramana commented on in Kubuntuforums. It worked on my Foxconn 915M12-GL-6ls motherboard (Intel 915GL based) desktop running Kubuntu 11.04 with the 2.6.38-8-generic kernel and Xorg 2:1.10.1-1ubuntu1.1 dated 21 May 2011. The Foxconn MB uses an 82915G/GV/910GL on board integrated graphics controller for video display. Sorry to hear that the workaround doesn't work for all... Hopefully there will be a fix forthcoming soon.
Cheers, Bill
Here's the original text of the workaround:
-------
I booted to the 11.04 signon screen. Then did a ctl-alt-F1 to get a terminal window in Kubuntu (without logging on to KDE.) At this point, I went to the default directory (/etc/default) and modified grub2 file to boot as follows:
sudo nano /etc/default/grub
Change the line:
GRUB_CMDLINE_
to
GRUB_CMDLINE_
Then rebuild the grub.cfg file by running:
sudo grub-mkconfig --output=
Once this is all done do a
sudo shutdown -r now
to reboot. At this point I was able to boot into the KDE graphical desktop signon screen and actually signon and get to the graphic desktop without kernel faulting.
