Hello,

As you can guess fro the apport-collect above, I made a few tests over the 
week-end, that have not all been successful... Here are a few details:
 1/ I've downgraded mountall from 2.15 to 2.14 for experimenting if I was back 
in my plymouth crass-prone environment: and first reboot that didn't implied a 
looong fsck (the one that fastfoward until 70% of the disk, and then takes ages 
to finish) generated a plymouthd SEGV.
 2/ then I installed arand's ppa plymouthd packages as described in above 
comment #87 : after something like 10 reboots, id didn't experiment any problem
 3/ then I reinstalled mountall 2.15 and I rebooted => fine. I though let's 
reboot one last time before reporting that everything is fine and that the 
patch fixed everything.... Bad idea!
 4/ I rebooted (2nd time after mountall 2.15 reinstall) and then the hell 
began: during the booting phase, I usually have for 2 to 3 second a blinking 
cursor of large VGA type, that disappear and is replaced by a small 
graphic-like one, and then I've got X11 starting and the login screen. This 
time, instead of this, 3 lines appeared on the large non-graphic console, then 
the graphic one started with the small cursor locate line 4 instead of line one 
as usual, then the screen went black and the laptop freezed.
The only way I managed to get it back was trough the On/Off button.
I tried 3 more times to resart it, and 3 times it freezed the same, but without 
the 3 lines in non-graphic console this time.
Finally, in the 4th attempt, I did a failsafe reboot and managed to get it 
back. I then reboot once more normally, and it worked.

That's the time I did the apport-collect action.

I'm not sure to know where the culprit is but first of all I will remove
the testing plymouthd packages....

Is there anything I can do more to be of help?
