Bug Description
Binary package hint: xserver-
When the machine boots, the splash screen appears as normal. The display then goes black, except for the mouse pointer.
The login 'drum beat' sound plays and the monitor backlight
turns off and back on again. This cycle then repeats several times until machine hangs completely. Sometimes the display shows two flickering mouse pointers rather than one.
However, I can login to the machine by booting into recovery mode, choosing 'resume normal boot' option, then Ctrl+Alt+F1 to bring up a login prompt. After logging in, 'startx' displays the desktop, although graphics performance is sluggish.
This may be related to bug #446641, as some of the bios and mobo details are the same (HP machine, Gamila/Giovani/Neon series mobo, v.3.26 bios), with same issue of /dev/dri/card0 not being created.
Also of possible relevance is the message “ACPI Error: A valid RSDP was not found”, although this is an ACPI-capable machine.
When booting from the LiveCD, the desktop appears correctly, although the splash screen is text-based.

Please test if turning off KMS makes the issue go away. See https:/ /wiki.ubuntu. com/X/KernelMod eSetting for directions.
If that works around the issue, then maybe we'll consider this as evidence we should blacklist KMS for i845 (see also bug #541492)
