Comment 35 for bug 518623

Same bug for me -- laptop Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Pro v2010, graphics card: VIA PN800 or PN880 (don't remember which one; I doubt it's important here), kernel 2.6.23-16-generic. Laptop hangs after fsck with completely black screen. Interstingly, when I boot into my old Ubuntu 8.10 and immediately reboot to 10.04 -- it _always_ works. And it does not matter if it's hard reboot or soft. With hard reboot it works if I don't make long break between power down and turing on again. This is strange, as if RAM fading out effects had some influence here? (using uninitalized state? Just guessing...).
