Public bug reported: After upgrading from Ubuntu 10.4 to 10.10, my machine hung during boot process before boot splash appears. This happens with all kernels from 2.6.35 branch, but I can boot with the 2.6.32 kernel from 10.4.
After some minutes of a blank screen, there is a report of a hardware error, see attachement for original. Here's the last message I get: ----- HARDWARE ERROR CPU 0: Machine Check Exception: 5 Bank 5:b200221024080400 RIP !INEXACT! 10: <ffffffff8101325b> {mwait_idle_with_hints+0x9b/0xf0} TSC fe40233ea PROCESSOR 0:1067a TIME 1293700244 SOCKET 0 APIC 0 No human readable MCE decoding support on this CPU type.
