Like warmrobot (and commented on somewhere higher up in this thread), I too am stuck with this bug - none of the workarounds make any difference (and if it makes any difference I'm an IT professional). While warmrobot might be asking the wrong questions in the wrong places it is pretty poor form to fob him off to somewhere else.

This is a highly visible bug, and one that leaves a very bad impression. It looks like, from some of the hardware talked about in this thread, that it's likely to effect those Ubuntu is trying hardest to snatch from the Windows world... There's also the possibility that this bug can lead to you messing up your partitions - all you need is for one of the regular fscks on a large disk and somebody to "have enough" and reboot (yeah - I done this).

If you can't get a boot up graphic working absolutely 100% then please just get rid of it - while rolling text might be cryptic it's better than ignorance about if the machine's booting or hung.
