Comment 2 for bug 470597

In an effort to get my system booting, I thought I would try updating the kernel. I hunted around for a bit, then decided to check for "proposed updates" via KPackageKit, which showed linux-image-2.6.31-15-generic was available, so I installed it.

I rebooted and for a laugh tried the original linux-image-2.6.31-14-generic kernel (which to date would not boot without removing the "quiet" parameter) and the system booted! I tried switching off and linux-image-2.6.31-14-generic booted the second time - I am now quite confused...

I will try again tomorrow, when the system has been off all night, to see if that triggers the problem again...
