Ok, so when booting ubuntu with splash screen, the computer freezes up. When booting it without the splashscreen, it looks like #22985 Two possible causes for this: 1. usplash doing bad things 2. kernel console framebuffer interfering with X. Judging from past personal experience utilising console framebuffers, the latter seems to be more probable. Therefore re-applied to product "kernel" and assigned to kernel video team.
