Amilo Li 1718 gets dark with Intrepid (8.10)

[danmarton]

Ubuntu 8.10 installed on Amilo Li 1718 laptop machine. When powered on with an active Ethernet connection, black screen appears instantly (no startup, no BIOS, nothing). LED displaying hard disk/CD activity is constantly on. If restarted right away (eth0 pulled out), it's still the same. One must wait for at least 1-2 minutes before powering on in order to have the system start up properly. (Maybe it only needs to get unplugged from the AC network, and then replugged.)
Same black-out appears when the machine is waked up from suspend mode with an active eth0 connection.

Eth0 device: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ (rev 10)
