Package: upgrade-reports
Severity: important

After updating from a working 6.0.0 standard version to 6.0.1 booting ends in a
total black screen just illuminated by its backlight.
Trying to change from x to any tty does not work.
Looks like x-server is not working correct with the Intel 855GM graphics
adapter on notebook.

Using the standard recovery grub entry does end in the same situation without
any possibility to change anything or any readable error message or checkbox.
Seems as if the x-server does not really crash but ends in black.

Computer is accessible by SSH and x-forwarding works!

Same happens on another notebook (identical in construction) and another with
this graphic chip after restarting after a successful new installation using
the net-iso-image.
Using a older DVD-ISO without network connection for install results in a
working system - updating this to 6.0.1 kills it in the same way.

Its likely its related to a known bug with the intel-drivers other
distributions had some times ago based on x-server-org incompatibility and new
kernel setting.
Maybe releated to the "i915.modeset" and "KMS" Problems there around a year
ago.

Closing due to lack of response.
