I just tried it, and yes, this bug still exists in Natty. The behaviour
is slightly different. Now, when I boot in single user mode by appending
a 1 to the kernel command line, it boots to a graphical environment
showing a menu with several options (reconfigure graphics, terminal,
reboot, etc.), and then hangs.
It displays the dialog box I described in the original bug report first,
which I can now dismiss by pressing Enter. Then, however, the computer
still becomes completely unresponsive. Neither my USB keyboard nor my
Bluetooth mouse work. The keyboard's Numlock light does not even respond
anymore, indicating the computer is well and truly hung.
