Yes, I think this is a different issue.
Once the grub screen disappears there is no disk access at all.
I just get the blinking underline cursor in the top left corner
of the screen.
Using nomodeset, nosplash/splash=0, removing quiet -- none of
these changes to the boot line of grub in any combination
results in any change. The system simply stops accessing its
hard drive and I get the black screen with the blinking
underline cursor. Since a touch on the power button results in a
system beep and immediate powerdown, I'm thinking it's possible
that the system has not even started to load the kernel.
When I have time to make some live images, I'll test to see
what's going on.
