failed to get i915 symbols, graphics turbo disabled error on boot

I have Toshiba Satellite L650 with ATI Radeon HD 5600 Series. I new with ubuntu and I have the new release 10.10
can anybody help me please :)

hi,
im also have the same error message after upgrading from lucid. im on lenovo g460 nvidia geforce 310m

Hi, the same here. I guess it must be a problem with the Intel Core i (M) CPU (i have i540M in my notebook). It has an integrated GPU which gets disabled I think. Anyway, I have nvidia 330M GPU which works just fine.

yes I think so, I have core i5 430M which has the same HD GPU & have Radeon 5650 HD works fine.
So, this is a bug in ubuntu, they should solve it

I get the same error message, only I don't have a discrete graphics card, only the integrated card. So it's not disabling the integrated graphics, otherwise I'd have none. I have an Intel i3.

same message with i5 M450 + ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5000 Series, Ubuntu 10.10.

System seems to run ok but once in a while the screen freeze (including the mouse pointer) and I can only poweroff/on to recover.

Can this be the cause?
(I am seriously considering to go back to windows after many years of Ubuntu because of this!!)

This is certainly due to the integrated graphics chip. Under Windows the Intel chip can run graphics while the graphic accelerator cores can be used for co-processing. Nvidia calls its technology CUDA. These GPUs are "Massively Parallel Processor Cores". The have been in use by large enterprise and for scientific research and are now making it mainstream as Windows 7 and Snow Leopard support CUDA natively. That coupled with the fact that it is a feature of NVIDIA's latest business and workstation oriented GPUs such as the Quadro. If you will notice late model Dells can EFI boot and now have LatitudeON which is a small Linux installation that runs on a low power integrated circuit and boots instantly allowing, web browsing, email and media playback.

Change is upon us my friends, but don't worry, the Linux Kernel with catch up and then expand far beyond the features that will be supported on proprietary platforms.

Who thought we would see BIOS go to that big bottom desk drawer in the sky. (You know the drawer full of crap you keep because your afraid you might need that someday.....)

Well the same here. I have Dell Inspiron i5 2.27 with ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4300 Series 512 MB

The same problem just upgraded to Ubuntu 10.10

Hope they will solve this bug :)

same problem!

Same problem in Toshiba Satellite L650-11F (intel i5 cpu and ati radeon hd 5650 graphics) in Kubuntu 10.10.
