Same for me on a Samsung R60 notebook. I changed the title (hope it's okay) because it has nothing to do with neither "quiet splash" in grub nor full encryption.
My boot parameters are empty, except removing plymouth it is a quite normal install. Removed plymouth on more than five systems on which 3.2.0-40 works well, so it is not the point. The boot failure is not happening with 3.2.0-39! Setting "nomodeset" fixes the problem, but it is a no-go that a security upgrade on the kernel breaks the system. If I kill the system and boot again grub pops up and asks for a kernel to load as always when you hardreset a system. If you choose 3.2.0-40 it boots! Then I shutdown and boot again...again black screen. And so on. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1167189 Title: boot failure with linux-image-3.2.0-40-generic To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1167189/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
