Can't boot notebook from SSD

[Ken D'Ambrosio]

Alas, I have to disagree with Xen -- UEFI is an inherently good thing, 
even if it's taking a while to get the rough edges off.  That being 
said, you're not gonna find out (easily) what the issue is if you can't 
see it.  And this is exactly why I hate splash screens, etc., and always 
disable them.

So, two approaches, here.  If you want to permanently disable splash, 
etc., boot off USB, mount your root partition, edit your 
/boot/grub/grub.cfg file (remembering that it will be off the 
mountpoint, not the actual path I just typed), and look for all the 
lines with "quiet splash", and get rid of those words.  Reboot, and you 
may actually see the error fly by.  (When t-shooting boot issues, I 
sometimes find it handy to record with my cell, so I can pause the 
playback.)

Or you can edit the line in the GRUB menu: hit "e" to edit the selected 
GRUB option, find the quiet and splash, ixnay 'em, <ctl>x to boot.  Note 
that that will only affect that particular boot attempt, and would need 
to be repeated next time you want to look.

Good luck!
