Comment 47 for bug 539020

I tested with Lucid.

Without blacklisting viafb it halts the same way:
2.6.32-19
2.6.32-19 (v2)
2.6.34-rc3-lucid/

I added video=viafb:off to the second last line of booting before the "quiet splash" and it didn't work either.

However the latter was not completely installed:
