Hardware:
Latitude E6410
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)

Kernel:
linux-image-2.6.32-25-generic-pae 2.6.32-25.43

With stock boot params "quiet splash", the backlight comes on, but the screen is black almost immediately after hitting return in grub2. I can hear the GNOME sound when gdm starts up, so the machine is still running, but the screen stays black.

With boot param i915.modeset=0 I can see the kernel message text until X starts, then the screen goes black with the backlight still on, but the kernel panics and I see the two flashing numlock and capslock lights blinking. Machine is unresponsive.
