[Bug 478727] [NEW] karmic boot hangs after upgrade likely nvidia but unsure Bug #428920 ubuntu-bug xorg

[krahim]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: initramfs-tools

I upgraded to Karmic last week and I am having serious problems booting.
The problems appear similar to those mentioned in Bug #428920.

I am not sure if this is a Nvidia xorg problem

karim at ulappy01:~$ uname -a
Linux ulappy01 2.6.31-14-generic #48-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 16 14:05:01 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Nvidia driver version 185.18.36

Sometimes after a normal shutdown the computer hangs during boot. It
hangs and I can do nothing. After pressing the off button and rebooting
in safemode It hangs at either

app-armour 
or on stopping ntp

after hitting the power button again one or two time I manage a
successful boot. I use my computer so I need it to work. I spent 30 min
getting it to boot.

I can provide extra information if I'm told how to get it. I'm now
interested in bringing back a verbose boot so I can see where it is
hanging and perhaps stopping this boot to X. Note this is intermittent.
So it will boot fine several times then this odd thing happens. This is
why a verbose boot is required.

Also it appears the boot process has gotten much much longer with
Karmic. I recall with an earlier upgrade having a problem of a long wait
for network time out, that my have been Edgy or some such.

Thanks,
Karim
