5/17/2010 12:34 PM EST -- Good news I tested linux-image-2.6.34-999-generic_2.6.34-999.201005121008_i386.deb and it didn't have the problem. The system booted without any issues. So it appears it got fixed between linux-image-2.6.32-22-generic-pae and this new version.

Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.32-22-generic-pae
I have a DELL OptiPlex 170L. My theory is that the kernel is somehow throwing the machine in a hibernate / sleep mode upon bootup. Maybe it has something to do with the video driver? (guessing ...)
The system doesn't get very far into the boot process. I have GRUB2 set to count down 15 seconds, I don't even see the count down start if it tries to boot from linux-image-2.6.32-22-generic-pae.
My system automatically installed this kernel update and then it wouldn't boot any longer. I interrupt the Grub2 and pick the previous kernel and it boots. I successfully run linux-image-2.6.32-21-generic-pae. I have tried putting the boot option i915.modeset=1 in grub2 and boot linux-image-2.6.32-22 but that has no affect. I have also tried the nomodeset option with no affect.
When I do: lspci I get:
00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 82865G/PE/P DRAM Controller/Host-Hub Interface (rev 02)
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporaation 82865G Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)
00:060 System peripheral: Intel Corporation 82865G/PE/P Processor to I/O Memory Interface (rev 02).
That appears to be the video processor built into the motherboard. In the BIOS I have tried the two possible settings: OnBoard and Auto. It does the same thing when I set it to either of those options.

Hi Jeffrey,
If you could also please test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https:/
Thanks in advance.
