Wiki article https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Plymouth#Debugging requires entering the Grub2 boot menu. As indicated previously (Bug #425979), a Grub2 bug makes this impossible.

This boot failure bug appears to be similar to Bug #609845.

A curious feature of my bug is that when you comment out "quiet splash" in /etc/default/grub and then "sudo update-grub", the boot failure appears to be resolved.

I will report back after 3 months of verbose booting as indicated above, unless I upgrade to 11.04 Natty Narwhal.

In the interim, I would suggest that the 9 victims of Bug #609845 try verbose booting. If the problem goes away for all 9, then we can use that to refine our debugging efforts.
