It was still happening for me, and I investigated into a kernel patch (landed
in 2.6.36.2) yesterday.
This did not help on it's own, but I had to change GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep
to GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=1280x1024, see:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/605837/comments/9

It *does* occur to me in Maverick, *if* I set
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep
, and get the
set gfxpayload=keep
in grub.cfg
Just for completeness. Any good reason to reopen it?
Uwe,
who doesn't mind living with ugly boot screens otherwise.

My problems stopped as discribed by Søren.
Well, this is it. I'm feeling unsatisfied however, because I don't understand
how grub is capable of this...

Today I updated Maverick. And after several reboots without a problem. I
also think the grub-pc update might fixed the problem. And I did not use
the nopat option anymore.
Only the warnings in my /var/log/Xorg.0.log from comment #20 are still
there
[ 17.845] WARNING WARNING
As of now it is fixed for me now. Problably it is the grub-pc update to
version 1.98+20100804-4ubuntu1
The log includes this :
* Go back to gfxpayload=text by default for Ubuntu 10.10, as the kernel
needs more work to avoid lockups with some video cards
Seems to be the change that fixes
I can add that the add one space-solution does not work for me ;(

Sinds the nvidia driver version 256.44 randomly hangs at Xorg startup, there
is no way I can determine whether a workaround works. Could that be caused by
the nvidia driver version 256.44. I just read about freezes with nvidia driver
version 256.44 in Arch Linux
This bug affects me exactly the same way as described by Søren Holm.
The card is geforce 7600GS.

Yeah that does not surprise me. As I wrote ealier I just had to enter the
editing mode in grub while booting, change nothing, and press CTRL-x to boot.
It works everytime. Have you tried that also ?

@Søren Holm I just tried your suggestion several times. Thus with only
one space between quiet and splash, and editing mode in grub while
booting, change nothing, and press CTRL-x to boot. It does not work for
me every time. It seems the new version 256.44 of the Xorg nvidia driver

Guys,
I've just tried to start system (into X) several times with or without
grub-editing without success (the out of memory error). The computer
was powered off before starting.
Then I've added nopat in grub command line- X system started as it
should.
Then I've rebooted without adding nopat

Referring back at my Ubuntu Maverick on an old AthlonXP PC, with an Asus

After the clean installation I updated it with

I have nvidia-current 256.44 installed now. But it behaved the same.
If I let the system boot normally I end up in low graphics mode.
If I interrupt grub and press 'e' to edit the item it will boot, and press
CTRL-x to actually boot it everything is ok. My system starts up perfectly X
starts
@Søren: is it enough to get the list of kernels/options displayed already for
you? Or do you need to edit an entry or select another one (stopping the
countdown)?
I'm asking since the screen resolution does not change when editing entries or
something similar (AFAICS).

Yes. Just entering grub and looking at the options is enough. But the laster
couple of day since the Xorg upgrade the problems have progressed. It seems
like the proprietary driver is no longer compatible wilth Xorg. So it is not
100% improsible to use anything else than nouveau.

I have found that my work-laptop containing an intel chip also has
issues. It sometimes end up in low-graphics mode. But on that machine it
always works to just restart Xorg.
So something races during boot in relation to graphics. How is it
decided that low graphics-mode should be initiated?

To sum up.
My system always boots on the low graphics mode,
When in low graphics mode and I press CTRL-ALT-F1 to get to the console,
there is usualy no text.
BUT if there are text I can restart X and get the nvidia dirver up and

Even though removing splash from the kernel commandline it only works
when doing it manualy from grub during boot. Removing splash from
menu.cfg does not work. So I'm fearing it might be related to something
that grub does when it displays the menu.
Do you guys have any ideas as to what I could
2.6.35-10-generic fixes this issue. So I guess it was a kernel thing

Apparently disabling boot splash by removing splash from the kernel
commandline is also a workaround for this issue. So I to not thnik it is
a kernel-issue anymore. So I changed it to nvidia-current because both
linux-image and nvidia-current had been was upgraded prior.
