I have a similar issue, which may be a duplicate: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/775899
The options "ro acpi=off nosplash text" can consistently get me booted to a terminal. Then from the terminal "sudo service start gdm" gets to the gdm logon screen. On the logon screen I must choose "classic (no effects)" and then I can get to gnome. Would you mind seeing if adding acpi=off allows you to boot in 2.6.38-8? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/734923 Title: System fails to boot -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
