Hello all!
Heres my dilemma: I turn on my netbook and the screen freezes after BIOS and stays black with flashing white line in top left. So I hard power it off and turn it on a second time. This time I get faced with a Grub menu and I select my Ubuntu 9.10. This time I make it to the white Ubuntu logo in the center of a black screen and it sits there for a few minuted and then shows a bunch of error messages loading modem-manager. I hit Ctrl + Alt + Del and restart again. This third time I select my Grub option and it boots fine. The confusing part is that this is the regular for my netbook. Everytime I wish to power it on I have to do it 3 times, same points. Here's what I have done:
1) First I checked dmesg of course, but I could find no mention of modem-manager or anything else out of wack for that matter.
2) I enabled Boot logging via /etc/default/bootlogd though it doesn't actually log anything in /var/log/boot .....confusing?
3) I searched all over the internet, including launchpad, for bugs related to my situation and found nothing.
Heres some system info that may be of some use:
