I have no idea what information is needed to figure out what is
happening. Let me know what you need. I occasionally had a similar
error in 9.10 but it was rare enough it didn't matter. During the
waiting I only waited a few minutes. It's possible it may have booted
eventually.
System is:
10.04 x64 upgraded from 9.10 via update manager
amd x2 5600
2gb ram
256mb nvidia 7600
sata western digital 1.5tb
sata icy box enclosure (no drive in it)
