Public bug reported:

I use HDD encryption, hence I am given a passphrase prompt at the
beginning of the boot process. Every second bootup the screen remains
black when the ubuntu splash is expected.

When this happens, it results in me having to reset the laptop. This in
turn yields the grub menu. When proceeding to load the kernel, the
ubuntu splash screen appears as expected. This problem does not occurr
with fglrx. I have enabled the grub menu for every bootup. The problem
persists though.

This might be related to suspend/resume problems (screen remains black
after resume) which I will create another bug for.
