At what point in the boot process does it fail? What is the status then? Does CapsLock or NumLock work? What does the screen show? Is the mouse cursor visible and movable? Which of the attached log files is from when the problem occured?

The relevant part I've found in the dmesg is what is shown on the screen during the boot process :
[ 12.067723] [drm:drm_fill_in_dev] *ERROR* Cannot initialize the agpgart module.
[ 12.067843] [drm:intelfb_restore] *ERROR* Failed to restore crtc configuration: -22
[ 12.067939] DRM: Fill_in_dev failed.

The session works correctly then, though compiz can't be activated, and every graphic related thing (even moving a window) seems very slow.

Just recently saw another bug with an agpgart prolem: bug 430925. In that case it worked if th agpgart module was blacklisted. Could you try that and see what happens? That bug resolved itself with an update. Could you check if the same happens for you?

I'll do that, and hope it will be enough to tell if it has really disappeared or not (the problem doesn't happen often, maybe just once a week at most)

The problem still occurs with the latest updates, but without blacklisting agpgart. I'm now blacklisting agpgart, and see if the problem persists.

Unfortunately it just happened again with agpgart blacklisted.

It looks like if sometimes drm is loaded before intel-agp, and thereby breaking it. :(

I have a Lenovo Thinkpad SL500 with Intel VGA and I'm experiencing the same problem almost always if I restart karmic. If I shutdown and bootup again it will happen 2 of 5 times.

[This is an automatic notification.]

Thanks for reporting this bug to help making the Intel graphics driver
better. We hear from upstream that a number of bugs (possibly including
this one) have been fixed in the newer DRM code from the 2.6.33 kernel.
I don't know if your bug is one of the ones fixed in this release,
though, but we've prepared a PPA with this DRM update. Would you mind
installing this, rebooting, and testing if the original issue can be
reproduced with it or not?

The DRM PPA is here:

https://edge.launchpad.net/~apw/+archive/red

Note there could be new bugs... please file these as new reports using
the command 'ubuntu-bug linux' (for kernel or DRM or KMS bugs) or
'ubuntu-bug xorg' if you suspect them to be X.org issues.
