edit the line its trying to boot,
go down to kernel (i think) and remove quiet and splash from the end of that line
then boot
it'll let you see what's going on at least.

Hi All
Good to see so many faces at the meeting tonight I am running Karmic Koala
and I went to boot up tonight after the meeting and it
s coming up to the GNU GRUB Menu with a choice of Ubuntu's to boot into and
when I boot into any of the non recovery ones it goes to the splash screen
and hangs.

Suggestions on how to get it to boot please

one of my servers has developed a habit of dying (3rd time in 3 weeks). I'm
guessing hardware - memory?? something else?? This box has been running for
a couple of years.

Symptoms are different each time, and each time there is nothing obvious in
the log, but this was a photo of the death screen last time:

The previous freeze had the screen rolling too fast to read, so I assume
some sort of loop??

I didn't record the problem the first time it happened, but I recall it was
a static screen with error messages.

Each time the server dies the last log message before restart is a DHCP
request, which may mean nothing at all. I'm using Ubuntu 8.04 (in the
process of upgrading but it hasn't happened yet).

Hard reboot gets it up again.

thanks..

David.
