Regarding statement: "If I do not access the grub2 menu, I can login to
X and everything is fine." No, not at all. My tests yesterday were all
without accessing the grbu menu. Ie, without accessing grub at any time,
booting into 3.2.0-20.33-generic-pae I was able to login without
corruption one time out of 3 with a cold reboot and 1 time out of 7 with
a warm. (This is why I removed grub from the description).
** Description changed:
+ Updated 2012/04/05:
+
On 11.10 and earlier, if I used a default /etc/default/grub file, the
- kernel would boot fine and X would run fine. This was true whether or
- not I accessed the grub2 menu (ie, holding shift after the BIOS screen
- goes away).
+ kernel would boot fine and X would run fine.
- After upgrading to 12.04 today, I found that after accessing the grub2
- menu, while lightdm would come up, after I logged into the desktop X was
- horribly broken with flashing colors and the like. This was my only clue
- in kern.log:

- This will be a problem for anyone who is not using the default installed
- kernel (eg testing, booting into a known-good kernel). The workaround is
- to adjust /etc/default/grub and set GRUB_DEFAULT to the kernel you want
- to boot into and run 'update-grub' (so we don't have to access the grub2
- menu).
+ Occasionally I am able to login to the desktop (1 out of 7 times). Warm
+ vs cold reboots does not seem to matter. Waiting to login to lightdm
+ seems to increase my chances of a successful login to a functionaly
+ desktop.
