@ Shaved Wookie:
In a comment posted for bug #509273, you said:
      I get the third "possibility" (grub -> blackscreen) with an Xpress 1250. Not sure how to try nonmodeset

As we have the same graphic card and as you also experience black screen on boot, it would be great if could perform the following test:

1. Test lucid beta 1 with nomodeset option
    download lucid beta 1: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/10.04/beta-1/
    nomodeset option: When you see the ubuntu menu proposing to Try Ubunutu wihtout installing, to install, check disk or cancel and boot from 1st hard drive, press F6 and check the option nomodeset. Then choose: Try Ubuntu
    report if it you experience a black screen on boot

2. Test lucid beta 2 with the exact same procedure

If test 1 succeeds but test 2 fails, then this bug can be confirmed.
