Hello Joseph,

Thanks for responding.

Sadly it didn't work either first up. Its very strange because once I go 
through initial hiccups it boots normally on the latest (and previous  - 
3.19.0-23-generic) kernels. What is even more crazy (and I'm loath to 
even say this because it sounds so idiotic) is that it appears to only 
happen from a completely cold start - as in switch on at the wall 
switch. These are the steps:-

1. Switch on at wall power (note this also starts my modem and lights up 
a USB TV tuner I have connected)
2. Switch PC on
3. Select Ubuntu (its a dual boot) and get the hanging problem
4. Power down the PC (holding the PC power switch)
5. Switch PC on again
6. Select Ubuntu and get the 'ACPI PCC Probe failed' message and the PC 
boots
7. After this I can 'shutdown' or 'restart'  with no more problems

Another item of interest is that it worked OK if I start up Windows 
first and then restart - I think. I'll confirm this tomorrow as I've 
done so many combinations now I'm a little hazy on that one.

Regards

Tony

Title:
  systemd-boot

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Following advice as per Release Notes
  (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VividVervet/ReleaseNotes)

  Just upgraded from 14.10 to 15.04 and now  Ubuntu fails to start from powering up. I select 'ubuntu' on the grub loader screen and then get a blank screen. Computer just hangs. Have tried Ctrl + Alt  + 1 etc, and also leaving for several minutes but nothing happens.
  Once I power down manually and restart and try again I see a message 'ACPI PCC Probe failed, starting version 219' and PC boots OK.

  This has repeated each time from scratch.

  FYI
