Same problem on my Dell Inspiron 510m.

(tried to report a bug 10 minutes ago but launchpad reported timeout and I lost my report)

Notebook freezes at boot after the upgrade to 10.04. Ubuntu logo is shown shortly and then it freezes on blank screen. Only "hard" switch-off helps.

In rescue mode I am able to drop to shell but safe-X doesn't start. If I manually start gdm by "/etc/init.d/gdm start", it freezes.

I am still able to boot using old kernel from 9.10 and everything seems to work fine.

Looks like this is not an update-manager issue. 10.04 LiveCD (written to USB key) doesn't boot either.

Is it a duplicate of bug #511001 ?

Yes, as described in bug #511001, I was able to boot 10.04 after adding "i915.modeset=1" to grub boot.
