Bug Description
the new kernel image won't boot with my imac, even with disabling splash and quiet in grub, there is nothing else than a purple screen, no informations displayed, no way to know what's going on
older kernels works flawlessly
WORKAROUND: I added "blacklist nvidia" to /etc/modprobe.

Hi, can you follow the steps described at "Boot Options" section from https:/ /wiki.ubuntu. com/DebuggingKe rnelBoot page, and report back here where it's freezing? A picture with messages showing where it stops can help finding the problem.
When following the steps 4 and 5 from that page, it misses that you also should replace "set gfxpayload= $linux_ gfx_mode" line with "set gfxpayload=text" on natty, to avoid it keeping the graphic mode ("purple screen"), so please do this change as well.
