  Saw login screen (hooray).
  Filed bug.

  I have no idea what information is needed to figure out what is
  happening.  Let me know what you need.  I occasionally had a similar
  error in 9.10 but it was rare enough it didn't matter.  During the
  waiting I only waited a few minutes.  It's possible it may have booted
  eventually.

  System is:
  10.04 x64 upgraded from 9.10 via update manager
  amd x2 5600
  2gb ram
  256mb nvidia 7600 
  sata western digital 1.5tb
  sata icy box enclosure (no drive in it)
  ide dvd writer
