Thread: kernel update causes nvidia display to break

-

kernel 3.2.0-31-generic came down pipeline other day (12.04 lts), , upgraded part of normal process. after that, wheels came off.

no longer either login screen, grub menu, or except stupid "out of range" error message, problem had dealt ages ago updating grub right resolution.

booting off live usb proved bozo no-no well. clicked on "try ubuntu" screen disintegrated morass of confused pixels, making totally unreadable, unusable mess.

figured out how ubuntu live usb (protip: nomodeset), , reconfigured grub 6 times no change in results. finally, had grub repair utility purge grub , reinstall it.

got there @ least grub menu, pick kernel. when tried latest kernel, however, got booted directly console. there, added x-swat ppa, , installed nvidia driver 295.49. after that, boot ubuntu using older kernel, 3.2.0-30-generic, , display works fine, @ least in ubuntu 2d. however, when try kernel 3.2.0-31, spewed console.

btw, graphics card geforce 7025/nforce 630a.

have *clue* what's going on here? sure don't.

the nvidia driver not load if use "nomodeset".
end vesa or nouveau
check /var/log/xorg.0.log file..

have pci express x16 slot on mobo ? why not upgrade cheap vdpau gpu 240/440/630 ?

nforce 730 & ion 1st mobo graphics of merit..

reboot problem kernel:
kernel log or cmd "dmesg" debug kernel problem.
