Screen is garbled. Reaaaally garbled. Like some sort of scrambling image from a movie. I can upload some pictures if needed. To be short with the description.
Here is my 3.3 + ck .config file: http://pastebin.com/aP2F9RcH

The dmesg log of the failed kernel: http://pastebin.com/esc2Rtka

The computer is a ThinkPad T500 laptop. I have selected everything needed for the computer (as far as I can tell, but check the .config).

The normal generic Ubuntu kernel boots and works perfect!

12.04 upgrade broke grub? (not wubi related)

as seen on Ask Ubuntu - Search for 'Ask Ubuntu'
I just updated from 11.10 to 12.04, with no major problems (it took a while to get past a request to restart ssh, mysql and some other services, but I did no fiddling by myself, everything was done by the installer). However, after restarting, grub can't do anything. Picking the new linux installation… >>> More

I have installed Ubuntu Server 10.04.1 LTS on an ext4 partition.
