Hi :) Just to add what you have said below....based on my own experience (which is the issue is somewhat similar...but not strongly similar) On Mon, Dec 27, 2010 at 20:10, Shreyansh Jain <shrey.linux@gmail.com> wrote:
What parameters are being passed to the new kernel via Grub? I had the same issue (don't remember, but I think it was with one of the rc build of 2.6.34) and it could drill it down to a 'vga' parameter on the Grub command line. I removed everything (including any standard 'quiet' parameter which Ubuntu distro kernel has) and managed to boot with some vga value I can't recall (will search and post in case I can find it).
In my case, this is happen when I used Fedora 7 (or 9, couldn't recall perfectly) plus manually compiled 2.6.3{1,2}. Sometimes, X could start....in other occasions, it couldn't. I do this by simply entering run level 3 (console text mode, full networking) then executed "startx". But using stock kernel, it never happened. X log didn't reveal anything suspicious. But eventually I came to raw guess that it was due to DRI incompatibility between the X user space part versus kernel space. -- regards, Mulyadi Santosa Freelance Linux trainer and consultant blog: the-hydra.blogspot.com training: mulyaditraining.blogspot.com
