Comment 5 for bug 424503

I have a IBM Thinkpad T42 with an ATI card. I edited the grub.cfg file by hand to remove the offending lines from within a Live session. I then fixed the defaults and updated grub file per the instructions above. It was still fixed after a reboot.

Here is the info from lspci:
