[Bug 546393] Re: MacBook Pro 5, 1 / 5, 2 / 5, 3 / 5, 5 fails to boot into 10.04 desktop

[Morgan Collett]

I can't help with testing the kernel, but I had the problem in this bug
report when I upgraded from a daily alternate image a few days after
Beta 1.

I fixed my system by booting the recovery mode with "nomodeset" appended
to the grub boot command, and then ran the manual nvidia install shown
in the known issues for http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/lucid/alpha2 - the
bit about Jockey not supporting the Nvidia alternates system. I then
rebooted and the nvidia kernel module failed to load, but the vesa
fallback worked. I then reinstalled nvidia-common and it worked, fixing
the nvidia driver.

Hope that helps as a workaround, I don't know if it will still work at
this point.
