I have done a lot of reboots now to see if I can find what configuration triggers the problem but up until now without any success. I have had a couple of boots in a row which succeeded without a problem and suddenly without changing anything the problem occured again. All boots were done without the quiet and splash options.
One boot I took the time to wait for every keypress and see what this resulted in in the log files. See attached messages file, I have put ************** characters where you can see that the timing jumped (i.e. I waited to press a key at that exact moment). However, after another boot I noticed that the stops were not on the always at the same location, though one location is 100% (up until now at least) constant and that is the USB initialisations with the lines: hub 1-0:1.0: 10 ports detected Sometimes it is the 2-0 hub, but it always stops after that location. Hope that helps ** Attachment added: "messages log file" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/18800082/Ubuntu-bug.txt -- System freezes during boot, unless I hold a key down https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/272247 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
