Any more details are needed, just ask. Karmic installation CD boots perfectly, both for installing and for the live session. Starting a Lucid Live Session, or trying to load viafb module from a Karmic Session, both make the computer completely freeze: - The screen goes black, but not off. - The cooler turns on indefinitely (suggesting strong cpu activity). - The keyboard locks (the user can't even turn on/off capslock or numlock). It seems that there won't be a fix for this kernel module any soon. So far there are two possible workarounds for this: * With a Live CD, remove "quiet splash" and add "viafb.modeset=0" to the boot options. * Create a Live USB with persisten memory, boot it on another computer and add viafb to the kernel module blacklist. It is a regression from Karmic. (Not that viafb works on Karmic, but it is not loaded there by default.)
