Comment 16 for bug 693093

So i915 didn't load on 2.6.37-3, on 2.6.35-5.13 you got a crash which is bug #676963 and was fixed on 2.6.37-5.14 and 2.6.37-7 appears to work. One thing all 3 had in common is that vesafb did not get loaded at all. One small thing I noticed in the earlier dmesg's was that vesafb was trying to use 1024x768x32 on that machine's 1024x600 panel which was a problem corrected in the 0602 bios release for this machine. It would be interesting to know the results of booting 2.6.37-11-generic on your alpha 1 userspace if possible so we can rule some more potential causes out, I'm not seeing anything obvious from these logs but hopefully someone else might.
