** Description changed:
Running 8.10 AMD64 version. The boot process hangs before the login
screen, around 20% of the time. The machine is completely frozen (alt-f1
doesnt respond, caps lock doesnt light up on keyboard). When this
problem occurs I have to cold boot the PC until it starts up
successfully.
The point it hangs is right after the Ubuntu logo but before the login
screen. If a disk check is scheduled it will occur before the pc hangs.
I regularly do upgrades but these haven't fixed the problem.
I've tried various boot options such as acpi=off and noacpi but these
haven't made any difference.
I've looked at syslog and it's often just after the bluetooth daemon (I don't
have bluetooth):
Mar 15 21:15:41 64ubu810 bluetoothd[5660]: Bluetooth daemon
Sometimes it hangs straight after this line, sometimes its a short while
later.
Hardware includes:
Graphics card is intel 915 (incompatible with jaunty alpha releases so far)
CPU is Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E8400 @ 3.00GHz

+ Here's a copy of the last few entries from syslog before it hangs and I
+ have to restart:
