[Bug 610200] Re: kernels after 2.6.32-17 have random failures in booting

[brian mullan]

First, as I'd said in the bug report... its a hit or miss whether the newer
kernels (post -17) boot completely or not.

This morning... the very same *2.6.32-24* kernel booted right up first
time?   Last night I tried a dozen times both cold and warm boot and it
would never get to login screen just the blinking cursor then a blank
screen.

Running Repair did little more than that except I could at least do a
ctrl-alt-del to reboot instead of a hard reset.

This has been a random problem with every kernel since *2.6.32-17* which has
always booted up.  So the only thing my "bug" report was filed for was to
perhaps give a timeframe for when the problem was introduced.    I've seen
on the ubuntu forums that many people are seeing this same issue or at least
one very similar to it.   The descriptions vary but when I read the text
about frozen boot, or boots to a blank screen etc. most sounded like the
same issue.

Anyway... I sent the debug info just now.

You can close this bug if you want I just was hoping to give you guys the
timeframe.

thanks.
Brian
