The kernel I tried first is the latest in Karmic: 2.6.31-15.50 (generic,
amd64). I also tried the vanilla 2.6.32 without change.
The situation is the following:
I wanted to change from a dual-headed CRT setup into a single-headed LCD
setup using the mentioned Dell 3007WFP-HC as I successfully run another
Dell 3007WFP-HC at work with a Radeon HD2400PRO. So I changed the
xorg.conf accordingly, turned off the system, plugged out the CRT's and
plugged in the Dell. Then I turned on the machine which brought me to
the usual grub menu but after that the display remained black and the
system doesn't boot any further. The backlight of the display is turned
on but nothing (not even a blinking cursor or something) is displayed
and the system sits there forever.
I can reboot the system using CTRL+ALT+DEL and if I plug off the monitor
cable than the kernel continues to boot. When the system is booted
without the monitor plugged in I plug it in, restart KDM and voila, all
things are fine and the display comes up properly. In addition there is
no warning and no error in the logs that would point me to any direction.
...wait, wait, wait ... nothing happens at all...
...pluggin off the Dell, and whoa:

Using a different graphics card (a Radeon HD4770) works as expected
during boot (although other problems occur later which are caused by the
young driver support). And as my problem occurs in a very early stage of
the kernel boot process I don't see that it should be a driver problem.
Recovery modes work as expected too.
Thanx for any help,
Ancoron

Hi Ancoron,
as the boot is normally done with "quiet splash" on the grub arguments
you might try to hit left-shift on boot to get to the grub screen and
then replace the quiet with debug. This will make the dmesg more detailed
and by that allows to better see where the hang is.
Experimentally you might also try removing the splash parameter, to see whether
this has any influence there.
It still could be a driver problem as some drivers are started from initrd.
Hope this helps,
Stefan

Hi Stefan,
thanx for your reply.
As I have a very similar issue at another machine I filed a bug report
in launchpad: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/493834
As I wrote there the "splash" option is causing the boot hang.
Additionally the two kern.log excerpts I provided there from a hung boot
and boot with "splash" option removed yields to a small set of
differences ("diff -w splash-enabled splash-disabled"):

So the drm gets initialized in both cases:
[drm] Initialized drm 1.1.0 20060810
and also the radeon things seem to get initialized correctly:
[drm] Initialized radeon 1.31.0 20080528 for 0000:01:00.0 on minor 0
And if I only disable the "quiet" option I get some output but as soon
as the progress splash screen should be initialized I see nothing (LCD's
going blank and heavy flickering on CRT but also black, just like a
completely wrong timing).
I hope this helps.
Thanx for any other help,
Ancoron
