My Asus 1005HA netbook (running under UNR 9.10 Beta+) is exhibiting what I believe is the same problem where about 3 boots out of 4 the video driver fails to initialize properly and then performs very slowly.

Linux agpgart interface v0.103
Oct 4 13:58:54 asmodeus kernel: [ 2.038380] [drm] Initialized drm 1.1.0 20060810

Oct 4 13:58:54 asmodeus kernel: [ 2.083826] i915: probe of 0000:00:02.0 failed with error -22

Except I don't get the "*ERROR* Cannot initialize the agpgart module." message the other users have.

I'm wondering if there's not some sort of race condition where sometimes the video hardware has settled down and is ready to be detected correctly and sometimes it has not.

I modified my /etc/default/grub file by commenting out "GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0" and setting "GRUB_TIMEOUT=3" to give the hardware time to "settle".

So far, this seems to be working.
