Comment 56 for bug 686388

Ah I should have mentioned I did install 2.6.38-8-generic_2.6.38-8.42~lp686388 for i386 and the associated linux-image-generic, linux-generic, linux-libc-dev. That's the one that caused the issue. I tried booting both with an external monitor attached and without an external monitor. Bug #749784 is apparently my dupe of this one so you can see my system information in that one. Let me know what else I can do to help.
