[Bug 609845] Re: System sometimes freezes during boot.

[psylem]

I just had this happen to me on another machine I just helped someone
upgrade from 9.04 to 10.04. After the upgrade the first two boots this
happened, system was totally unresponsive to anything other than
Ctrl+Alt+Delete.

Title:
  System sometimes freezes during boot.

Status in “plymouth” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  System (Lucid Lynx) sometimes freezes during boot just before login
  manager should appear (KDM or GDM) and won't go any further. Possibly
  plymouth's fault, but I'm not sure. See
  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1474444 for reference.

  Quoting ganda99 from given forum thread:

  "After it (Kubuntu) stops booting I get dropped into a blank screen
  with no disk activity, I hit CTRL-ALT-DEL and a Kubuntu splash pages
  comes up immediately and then the PC shuts down and reboots.

  After doing this once or twice after a cool start I eventually get my
  login screen."
