Comment 14 for bug 447226

I might be having the same problem, but I am new to linux so I'm not really sure. My computer shows the white logo, but after that the screen goes blank and nothing can get it off of that. This happened occasionally on 9.04 and every time on 9.10. If I hit Escape right before the white logo comes up, after GRUB when a white line is in the top left corner, it writes something like ->] in the top left corner, then boots normally. Is this the same bug?
