[Bug 431812] Re: i915: black screen on boot

[jochen]

hi
search in /boot/grub/menu.lst for the line # kopt= ...

append "i915.modeset=0 " to the line

looks like
# kopt=root=/dev/... ro i915.modeset=0

update-grub

and it will be added in the parameterlist on all kernels into all 
version if you make a kernel update

greatings
jochen

ps it is the 9.10 is the alpha release oft the next LTS, so you will 
have many critical bugs in it
