Comment 2 for bug 62670

Yes I am. I figured out that I can see the system messages scroll by when booting up by editing the grub entry to remove the "splash" and "silent" options.

With the -10-generic kernel:
There are lots of errors regarding being unable to load ndiswrapper (loadndiswrapper).
The X server fails to start up
The boot-up process takes 5+ minutes at the step where it says "Starting System Tools Backends system-tools-backends".
It takes as much time again to restart cupsd and then restart the system log.
After 10 minutes I am still waiting for the computer to finish restarting the system log...

With the -k7 kernel:
I get errors regarding being unable to load ndiswrapper
The X server fails to start up and I get a message saying so
I finally get to the command prompt, and when I try to dist-upgrade, all the xorg packages are shown as being held back.

Now that I have a means of logging in to the system using the -k7 kernel, please let me know what files I can upload to let you figure out what went wrong during the boot-up process.
