I dont know if this helps but the output to the screen is not totally frozen as i can see usb messages by plugging/unplugging usb devices. Actually I can always see an error message from a previous usb keyboard initialization which was timed out, so it appears 11 s later. after the init-bottom done message. So apparently we are still on the console screen.
BTW after the done message the hard drive still works hard for a good time (> 10s) and then stops any activity. -- Lucid beta 1 won' t boot, plymouth launch broken https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/552046 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
