[Bug 1060375] Re: 12.10 Beta2 does not boot properly. Boot Error or Black Screen

[Hector Sansores]

I have a similar problem using an Acer Aspire S3.
Sometimes I get a black screen, however I always hear the "drums" sound.
I am not sure if this problem only happens when there is no network connection, will test it tomorrow.
