Bug Description

The karmic beta release notes emphasized the importance of reporting any console messages that appear prior to the bootsplash screen during startup.

I consistently see the following during boot, prior to the splash screen:

[ 10.126427] render error detected, EIR: 0x00000010
[ 10.126431] page table error
[ 10.126433] PGTBL_ER: 0x00000100
[ 10.126437] [drm:i915_handle_error] *ERROR* EIR stuck: 0x00000010, masking
[ 10.126445] render error detected, EIR: 0x00000010
[ 10.126446] page table error
[ 10.126448] PGTBL_ER: 0x00000100

It doesn't otherwise seem to have any adverse affect.

I get the same error message during boot-up, however I don't get any page table errors, simply the rendering error:

render error detected, EIR: 0x00000010
[drm:i915_handle_error] *ERROR* EIR stuck: 0x00000010, masking
render error detected, EIR: 0x00000010

Then I see a few of the standard boot messages such as "loading AppArmor profiles" and I am eventually shown the new boot splash-screen.

I updated to the latest kernel -- rev 13 I believe -- and the latest xorg intel drivers (2.9.) and I dont see any messages any more. I think these were just added to the repos today.
