This bug was reported as requested by Bryce(?) in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/KernelModeSetting. I updated it for the 2.6.30-10-generic kernel before learning that KMS was enabled by default and that i915 drivers were blacklisted for this mode, as indeed KMS does not work on Intel 855GM [8086:3582] and >2.6.30-8-generic kernels. Xorg is now upgraded to exploit the mode.

2.6.30-10-generic kernels should now boot fine in terms of KMS. Problems are likely something else (see Karmic forum).

A pity we lost kms but there you ae....
