Bug#627372: linux-image-2.6.38-2-686: Console turns black during boot
Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.38-5
Severity: important
I suspect this is the same as bug #625727.
Console turns black during boot, roughly at the point where normally the
console font changes.
Thereafter the disk activity is as for a normal boot, but the display stays
black. Switching virtual terminals has not effect.
Pressing the power button causes normal disk activity followed by power off.
Suspend followed by resume has no effect.
It seems the machine is coming up, but not finding the display.
Boots fine with older kernel (2.6.32, running now)
