Comment 5 for bug 172563

Simon : Can you try to upgrade to latest Hardy release and look if this bug still persist? And if the bug persist, can you edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst and remove all "splash" and "quiet" entries? This will remove usplash from your boot so you'll be able to see if the bug persist when usplash is disabled, your boot process will look ugly but you will have a lot of informations about what's going on, including kernel messages about the problem if you can still reproduce it.
