[Bug 1447978] Re: After update from 14.10 to 15.04 boot stops at black screen displaying "Starting version 219"

[George Pontones]

I noticed something new. First of all, I have 14.04 on one hard drive
and 15.04 on another.  The default hard drive is the one with 14.04.  I
get a list from GRUB that prompts me to select which operating system to
boot. When I select 15.04, I get the error. When I went into the BIOS,
and changed the first boot drive to the one with 15.04, I did not get
the error. I also did not get the GRUB screen. Is it possible I have to
do something to 14.04 or the GRUB launcher to get 15.04 do boot
correctly when the default drive in the 14.04 hard drive?

Title:
  After update from 14.10 to 15.04 boot stops at black screen displaying
  "Starting version 219"

Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I have just updated to Ubuntu 15.04 and keep getting "starting version
  219" error. The only way that I can boot in to Ubuntu 15.04 is to hold
  down the Shift key during start up and then boot in to Safe mode.

  Without doing anything else, if I then select "Resume normal boot"
  Ubuntu 15.04 boots up okay.
