There's a serious lack of consistent information here. None of the info really helps and I strongly believe that a lot of you are experiencing very different bugs, just showing the same symptom.

What I need people to do is boot without the "quiet splash" command line args. Easiest way to do this is to choose the "rescue mode" option in grub.

Once the boot stops, hopefully you'll observe some errors or even a crash. A digital photo or hand written copy of this crash/error is what's important. I've had one user who's crash was early in ohci1394, not even related to the disk, but it kept other modules from being loaded. So this is the kind of info I need.

If the crash goes off-screen, then possibly adding something like vga=773 (or 772 or 771) to the kernel command line to see more output from the problem.

Thanks
