2009-03-10 23:33:14 Leann Ogasawara description Originally I have reported a Bug #321859, however, so far there were no solutions offered. I reinstalled Ubuntu 8.10 without deleting the data and creating an extra free space on the original Ubuntu 8.10 disk. The new partitioning looks like this (please see the file attached "Partitioning of baby laptop.tif"). After installation I had the following kernels installed (please refer to the picture "new kernels.jpg"). I was trying to boot the computer from kernel Ubuntu 8.10, kernel 2.6.27-9-generic, which gave me an error (please refer to the picture attached "kernel 2.6.27-9-generic booting error.jpg"). After I rebooted from the kernel 2.6.27-7-generic there were no problems anymore. The computer works fine and the screen is back to normal. So I assume that the problem is with the 2.6.27-9 kernel.

So I assume that the problem is with the 2.6.27-9 kernel. == Update == It isn't the kernel but the display driver. When you first install ubuntu you need lock the version of the xserver display driver. If you install the updates a new driver version will be installed which makes the screen go haywire. Instructions (DO THIS BEFORE INSTALLING ANY UPDATES): 1. Go into Synaptic Package Manager 2. Search for: xserver-xorg-video-intel 3. Click Package --> Lock Version
