Well this is truly odd. It locks up at many different places. I
know this sounds crazy but the point it locks up at seems to be
related to whether I select the default boot image to boot
immediately or just let it time out and boot. It's almost like
there is a timer that begins when grub loads and the system locks
up a certain time after that no matter where it is in the boot
sequence.
I think you misunderstand. This is what happens using the default
boot. The safe boot give the HAL failure error.
Well, you can test the timer theory easily enough. When the grub
sreen comes up, use the up or down arrow to move off of the default
selection and back onto it. That will disable the autoboot timer.
Let it sit there for 5 minutes, then hit ENTER and let it boot and see
what happens.
Any luck if you install the firmware ?
I did a lot of testing and ,while changing the time from grub screen to
start of boot did make a difference in the point the system locked up,
there was not enough correlation to conclude anything. I'm doing a clean
install now and will re-start this thread when I have more info.
