Bug Description
I've been running 8.04 beta for a while now, with kernel 2.6.22-14 the system boots and runs just fine. However, with the recent updates to the kernel 2.6.24-15 and then to 2.6.24-16 the system fails to boot and "hangs" at the "loading" screen with the blue progress bar just moving back and forward. In the trimmed menu.lst only the last option boots.

Thanks for your bug report and for your contribution to ubuntu. In order to determine if this issue is usplash related, would you boot your computer with usplash disabled and then shutdown to see if you can reproduce the issue? To disable usplash for one boot time, you can follow these steps :
1.Press Esc during Grub boot delay to access the boot menu.
2.Select your actual Ubuntu boot line and press "e" to edit it.
3.Select the "kernel" line and press "e" to edit it.
4.At the end of the line, remove "splash" and "quiet" and press "enter".
5.Type "b" to boot the custom boot line.
