New: Ramdonly linux don't boot, it hangs at the very first stage of booting with some error related with uvesafb

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11734

Summary: Ramdonly linux don't boot, it hangs at the very first
stage of booting with some error related with uvesafb
Product: Drivers
Version: 2.5
KernelVersion: 2.6.27-6
Platform: All
OS/Version: Linux
Tree: Mainline
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P1
Component: Video(Other)
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]

Latest working kernel version: 2.6.24-xx
Earliest failing kernel version: ----
Distribution: Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex
Hardware Environment: Samsung R70 / A009
Software Environment: Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex Beta.
Problem Description: First of all: I am not a linux expert so please don't ask me too much technical questions about the problem, but i will try to help as much as i can...
I am not sure if it is related with Ubuntu or with the kernel but the problems take place in the very first stage of booting (maybe with the loading of the kernel??) and I get the following error messages:
"606627 uvesafb: failed to execute /sbin/v86d"
"606719 uvesafb: make sure that the v86d helper is installed and executable" "606814 uvesafb: Getting VBE info block failed (eax=0x4f00, err=-2)" "606905 uvesafb: vbe_init() failed with -22

Then the loading goes on a little bit until reaching the message:
"Loading hardware drivers ....... " and the laptop freezers at this point.

Like i said this is a ramdonly problem,if i restart the computer most probably ubuntu starts, but i think it is very annoying anyway!.

(switched to email. Please respond via emailed reply-to-all, not via the bugzilla web interface).
