Comment 12 for bug 277344

kernel 2.6.27-5.8 on today's daily build, 20081006, fails same way.
MD5 sum check out fine.
CD check for errors none found.
CD boots on Compaq Presario O.K., works fine, for a Beta.

On IBM Thinkpad R31, 2.6.27-5.8 fails just like 2.6.27-4 on Beta Release and also like Alpha 6 failed.

CD Live Boots up, X inititates, brown screen, then black screen with movable pointer. Keyboard is dead.

If I do Ctrl-Alt-F1 as soon as brown screen appears, command line prompt comes up O.K.

Copied xsession-errors, dmesg, lspci -vvnn, Xorg,0.log to USB drive since there are a bunch of error messages. Will attach these following.

Switched back to windows screen with Ctrl-Alt-F7. Full Gnome desktop showed up fine including notification that a USB drive was attached, then a second later the desktop disappeared with the monitor showing the background, a movable pointer, and the keyboard was dead.

Entering this message from previously installed Beta using xfce4 on the Thinkpad. I'm doing daily updates which included 2.6.27-5.8 which fails the same way that the CD Daily live did.

Let me know what other info you would like, or if I can try anything.
