With maverick about half the boots work. I have a 10.04 on same machine, and this boots all the time. I have ATI Radeon HD4550 graphics with HDMI. I use open source drivers. When the boot does not complete, then I have a strange pattern on screen, the top third of screen is black and below is this pattern.
I have the impression that it stops just before outputing the welcome sound. I can however shudown by shortly pressing the power button on computer, there comes a terminal window and shutdown succeeds -- kernels after 2.6.32-17 have random failures in booting https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/610200 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
