My verbose boot-up hangs occasionally at "Loading hardware drivers" too, and I wonder if this is related to my WiFi card (Buffalo AirStation PCMCIA WLAN card) and bw43-fwcutter. Choosing either "Recovery mode" or "Last succesful boot" helps. Once I could make the boot-up continue by detaching the WLAN card for a second or two and re-attaching it then.
But this might not be the same issue as the fact that while the quiet splash boot-up hangs early on (about one fifth of the process bar), verbose boot-up works... -- Intrepid: quiet splash freezes but verbose boots up fine https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/274155 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
