Bug Description

Binary package hint: update-manager

On a system which multiple monitors, supported by multiple graphic cards,
the on board graphic card needs to be blacklisted to prevent kernel panick during boot.

This is described by related bug
297234
Blacklist confused by additional video card

This prevents straightforward instalation of UBUNTU from liveCD disks.
On my system, with three monitors, the Hardy Heron with entry

blacklist agpgart

in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist

worked OK. During upgrade, system became unbootable and files (listed in appendix) were listed as involved in the crash.

After installing the Lucid from the scratch (by removing extra graphic cards)
the following lines in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
#Added 14.2.2011 for MultiHead card support
blacklist i915
blacklist vga16fb
blacklist intel-agp
install i915 /bin/true
install vga16fb /bin/true
install intel-agp /bin/true
