I can confirm the same problem on my new E6410 w/Intel graphics card. All hints here helped me installing 10.04 (kubuntu) using the alternate amd64-cd und updating the system in a recovery shell. But trying to restart in normal mode always results in a black screen with blinking nun/caps lock leds even nomodeset or whatever was mentioned above doesn't help.

Starting with i915.blacklist=true xforcevesa results in a pink screen and text VT showing alternaty for 10-15 seconds. After that there is a black screen again but w/o blinking leds. Althoung hitting the caps lock key does not change the led state the system make a shutdown when pressing the off button. So vesa does not work, too.

So there is no chance to get it running now? :-(
