Thanks for the verification. If you have time for it, it would be still appropriate to check the last drive with badblocks. Both new and very old hard drives are vulnerable to cluster damages. From now on, can you look if the problem can be reproduced is you remove both "splash" and "quiet" from the boot line?
It would also be important to know if the BIOS error messages appears before or after the GRUB menu. If before, this is BIOS error messages, nothing to do with ubuntu, linux or splash. If this is after GRUB, this is linux kernel error messages concerning BIOS. "quiet" might only hide these error messages but not cause them. Can you also reproduce the problem and provide the files created by these commands in a terminal? dmesg < dmesg.log (if you associate some error messages with the outputs you see while the computer boots, it's a good idea to edit the file to point them) sudo lspci -nnvv > lspci-nnvv.log uname -a > uname.log cat /proc/version_signature > version.log cat /boot/grub/menu.lst > menu.lst -- [Intrepid] usplash causing bios warnings when not used with quiet https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/235662 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
