Public bug reported:

I have been having booting trouble with my Lenovo for months.  I have
consistently left 12.04 and had to use other systems.  Sometimes I am
forced to return and try to see if this issue has been fixed, it has
not.  I have not been able to find any support for my issue, this is my
last hope.

Symptoms:
  1) Sometimes after grub, boots to purple screen and stays there
  2) Sometimes after grub, and purple screen, starts booting... freezes after 
(firewire loaded device) (however, I believe this is just the last "status" 
message
  3) the newest problem, after the firewire line, starts complaining with the 
following lines:

[   xx.xxxxxx] ata1.00: revalidation failed (errno=-5)
[   xx.xxxxxx] ata2.00: revalidation failed (errno=-5)

 4) Sometimes I boot successfully
 5) Sometimes I try to boot through recovery mode and sometimes it works and 
sometimes it doesn't.

Notice the amount of "sometimes", this is because this bug is incredibly
random yet I USUALLY do not boot.  Please help me out, I'll be glad to
get whatever info you need, but I have no clue how to further diagnose
this.

Steps taken so far:
 -  "quiet splash" removed
 - nvidia drivers installed from nvidia's website (310)
 - nouveau driver blacklisted
