Yes - various symptoms.
I found a entry in the /boot/grub/grub.cfg file which may be the cause for the problems Seems that a call for "splash" halts the system
"linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-14-generic root=UUID=44118bfa-d582-45e2-964f-66886a1d4d03 ro quiet splash"
where the "splash" word needs to be edited away (for some creepy reason)
HOWTO
Go into recovery mode Drop to root
>nano /etc/default/grub
Edit the line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet" and save
>update-grub (which will update the /boot/grub/grub.cfg file)
>shutdown -r now
and now go into the normal boot and the splash screen and GUI should be there.
Good luck Morten
