** Description changed:
Binary package hint: usplash
Once the Ubuntu splash screen loads with the progress bar that moves back and
forth, it freezes. Holding down any key unfreezes the system, and it continues
loading normally, until I release the key, at which point it freezes again.
Holding a key down again unfreezes the system again.
Pressing Alt+F1 to show the output also freezes, so I know it isn't just
the splash screen freezing, but the entire system.
Once X loads, it works perfectly fine though, and I don't have to keep
holding a key down.
Update : This bug happens with 2.6.26 and 2.6.27 kernels with a computer
- that has Nvidia MCP67 motherboard.
+ that has Nvidia MCP67 motherboard. A known workaround that sometime
+ works is to add nolapic to GRUB boot kernel options.
