i guess the i915.modeset=1 works for me also but the problem i am facing is that i run into one or two more possible bugs rite after it.

these bugs from what i understand after going through various posts and trying many workarounds posted are present in either "plymouth" or "fsck" or "sysvinit" or "mountall" or all of them and have been reported in Bug #554079 Bug #556372 Bug #554737 Bug #559761.

after trying so many workarounds for various packages i dont know anymore what all exact changes i have made. one of the possible reasons i am facing these bugs together is that i did an upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04 alpha.

the plymouth dependency problem just makes it difficult to fix the problem as trying to remove it results in complete removal of the desktop environment.

i think plymouth should atleast be made optional for headless server systems till all the bugs are combed out.

i have been booting into safe graphics from recovery option in grub and that seems to be the only way to boot into it.

i hope a fresh install fixes these issues.
i will try and post back.
