Somehow old remains of proprietary nvidia drivers were the culprit for this behaviour. I removed all these nvidia* packages and re-installed the nouveau driver and I can now boot that kernel. In any case the nvidia driver that would work with my machine is not longer supported by ubuntu (96.x.x).
As I showed in another posting ( http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...8#post12824848 ) the low resolution problem still remains, and it seems to be due to some error shown in the Xorg.0.log file that I attached in that posting.
Code:
[ 39.159] (EE) [drm] KMS not enabled
I wonder what this message means.
