Public bug reported: I talked with awp on irc about how to report this issue. In the report below you will see a working set of logs from dmesg and a working lspci. I will add to this a log containing the non-working dmesg and lspci
Basically for 90% of boots the computer fails to load because it can't load the graphics driver. You can actually tell when the boot will work because it will show the full plymouth boot animation. In all other cases it's either the text plymoth or a purple screen which then goes to black and a non-functioning computer. Requiring a hard reset. Bug appeared in Maverick 2.6.35 and has been in each release since.
