[Bug 1046957] [NEW] "error during filesystem" turns off monitor, never comes back on

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

I've noticed that my monitor turns off at some point halfway during
booting.  I ignored the problem, since they always turned back on until
now.

With 12.10 my monitor wasn't turnning back on.  Eventually i managed to get it turned back on with these steps, (nothing else worked) 
1. switch to the console ctrl+alt+f1 and turn off the monitor
2. turn on the monitor
3. switch back to the error with ctrl+alt+f7

at which point i realized had an error during booting.  it looked much
like this error: http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/308/20110218153727.jpg

it had this message "serious errors were found while checking the disk
drive for /" which I later fixed by installing xfsprogs

but the actual problem is that my monitor is getting put in suspend mode
or "can't display this" mode  and never comes back on to display the
error.  This is a problem, because there is no indication of anything
bug a blank screen.  It's a HDMI monitor.

I'm using an ATI 5750 card with a hanspree HF259H monitor.  Should be
able to reproduce with any error on the splash screen.
