[Bug 933091] [NEW] Boot splash screen freezes

[Romain Thouvenin]

Public bug reported:

Since I have upgraded to Ubuntu 10.04, the boot process sometimes
freezes. The splash screen becomes kind of strange, but still
recognizable. I am attaching a photo.

If I press the power button (without holding), the system enter a
shutdown process and shutdown "normally". The next boot will then go
smoothly.

As everything is hidden by the splash screen, I don't really have
further info, but am available to provide them if there is a way to get
them. Since it seems to happen quite randomly, I believe this is somehow
related to hardware.

Regards,
Romain
