I can unfortunately not reinstall that laptop from CD now.

Dell Latitude D505:

But I did
 $ sudo update-rc.d -f 915resolution remove
 $ sudo shutdown -r now
and it came up just fine, no problems...

   jan@osprey:~$apt-cache show 915resolution |grep -A3 obsolete
    The 915resolution package becomes obsolete with the newer xorg,
    especially if you have the xserver-xorg-video-intel package installed.
    Newer xorg brings modesetting support by default.
    .

Perhaps someone else can check an actual install from desktop/alternate CD.

regards,
Jan
