I get this problem frequently following a restart from 12.04.

Pressing the reset button or executing a FULL power shutdown prior to completion of booting 13.04 will usually eliminate this problem. This would imply that a hardware state that is properly initialized following a reset or full power shutdown is NOT being properly initialized during a warm reboot.

On occasion, I have also had to update/install grub, either from 12.04 or a via fix a broken system from a server CD.
