I believe I have this issue with my Ubuntu 8.10 install. I dont remember exactly when I first experienced it, but it was probably sometimes late 2008. It seems that its somewhat random whether it will occur or not during boot. Attaching the files mentioned above in the hope that it will help you sort out this issue.
