That build (2.6.37-020637.0001) doesn't appear to boot completely. It hangs with a garbled display similar to what I saw with the Maverick kernel 2.6.35.12-02063512.201104011012 I mentioned in comment #20.

I don't see any logs written for the two boot attempts on that kernel. Does that make sense? The disk activity stops just after the abbreviated boot splash that this model seems to do. (Grub selection followed by black screen with disk activity, followed by a second or two of Ubuntu logo with the red 'boot complete' dots, then in the case of this kernel the screen hangs with blocky solid colored irregular stripes.)

I have tried a couple of boot attempts, though some of the previous kernels I tried put similar garbage on the screen and switching virtual consoles got X to redraw. HOWEVER Since the disk activity stops and it doesn't respond to Ctrl-Alt-F1 etc. I presume it is really hung.
