[Bug 701060] Re: Boot failure

[peterzay]

Before trying your suggestions, have you reviewed Bug #425979 which
documents problems with both SHIFT and ESC for Grub2 on certain
machines?

As for orange vs red animated dots, that's probably screen colour
balance and subjective interpretation.

What do you mean by: Do Alt+Left, Alt+Right, or Alt+Fn keys work at this
point?  Do you mean LeftAlt+Fn or RightAlt+Fn (n=1,2,3,...,12)?  Please
clarify.

Title:
  Boot failure

Status in “plymouth” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Occasionally, 10.04 won't boot at all or hesitate.  CTRL-ALT-DEL may
  help, but sometimes even that won't work.  I boot once daily.  The
  problem happens 1-2 times per week.  Should I upgrade to 10.10 to
  solve this?
