Bug Description
Binary package hint: dpkg
I have ACER ASPIRE 4736Z with intel GMA 4500M.
Initially I had installed Ubuntu Maverick (10.10). I upgraded to Natty (11.04). Kernel has been updated to 2.6.38.6 which is working for me perfect with minor bugs. Afterwards I have tried to update upto Kernel version 2.6.38.8 but i get a blank screen when system boots. Solution which is still working for me is to restart with kernel 2.6.38.6.
In my opinion problem is in video card driver. I need Help.
WORKAROUND: To make it run after reboot just insert the command in /etc/rc.local:
#!/bin/sh -e
#
# rc.local
#
# This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel.
# Make sure that the script will "exit 0" on success or any other
# value on error.
#
# In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution
# bits.
#
# By default this script does nothing.
sudo setpci -s 00:02.0 F4.B=00
exit 0

I also have this problem. I am running (or trying to, anyway) Ubuntu 11.04 Beta 1 on a HP Tm2t-1100 CTO. Upgraded to the beta because I was having a problem with xorg randomly using 24-25% of my processor at any given time for no apparent reason... Now I'm lucky if I can log into my computer.. joke is on me, I guess..
