I hope this observation helps to find out what is going wrong. Could this be due to a race condition during the boot process? (X-configuration? plymouth? kernel?) My computer is a four year old laptop with a Centrino (1.6Ghz) platform - in principle there should be many computers out there with similar hardware.
