they say that

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: VIA Technologies, Inc. CN896/VN896/P4M900 [Chrome 9 HC] [1106:3371] (rev 01)

only works with the 2.6.32 kernel, and uses module viafb. Trying the Lucid kernel on my Karmic install also resulted in crash. The crash looks similar to the crash I had when I tried to run

sudo modprobe viafb

on Karmic.

I am attaching the log of my recent attempt to boot Karmic with the Lucid kernel.
