I'll see the "no logo" and raise you a "will not boot under 2.6.38-8". If I boot into 2.6.38-8 I get he behavior described here: purple screen, and it sits there. I have an encrypted root (LUKS), so I have to wait a minute and then blind-type my password in. Under 2.6.38-8 I see a brief amount of hard disk activity and then nothing. I let it sit 30 minutes and still a purple screen. If I boot into 2.6.35-28 (this is an upgrade from 10.10), then I get the same blank purple screen, but at least when I blind-type my LUKS passphrase I see solid disk activity for a minute or two and then GDM comes up. There appear to be a number of related bugs open on this, but this particular bug sounds the closest to what I'm seeing. For what it's worth:
