Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

when the grub menu appears could you edit your boot selection and remove the word splash
from the end of the line and boot and tell me if you see anything displayed before getting the login prompt

Hi, thanks for you answer ... its nearly the same without "splash"

Starting up ...
... 30 seconds ...

kernel alive
kernel direct mapping tables up to ...

and than the system starts the whole services ...

but without the splashscreen :)
