[Bug 593464] [NEW] Not getting to the logon screen; systems halts on ubuntu logo sometimes

[Sebastian Klus]

Public bug reported:

When starting my laptop (HP Pavilion dv6000) with dualboot, everything
goes fine until the Ubuntu screen shows up (the Ubuntu text with the
dots below, that change from white to red). Then (let's say in 7 from 10
cases) the screen simply stays this way - the logon screen is not coming
up. I touch the power switch and my laptop shuts down as if turning it
off. Then, the second boot, everything works fine. It takes a little
longer and the screen flickers one or two times during startup, but
first the Ubuntu logo comes up and shortly afterwards, the logon screen
and from this moment on everything works normal.

Maybe just to clarify: I always do a complete shutdown when ending my
work. No standby or suspend.

This phenomenon occured recently. I am running Ubuntu 10.04 since it was
published and everything was fine until a couple of weeks ago.
Unfortunately I am not exactly sure when it happened, but my impression
is that it takes place since the last kernel update.

uname -a says I am running Linux ubuntu 2.6.32-22-generic #36-Ubuntu
SMP; and it's 64bit

Please let me know what files to upload, in case you need anything that
might help.

Regards,
Sebastian
