Title:
  Ubuntu fails to boot on a 'cold' start

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  if i pause the boot, while it's in the bios, before it gets to the
  linux boot, for about 2 mins, Ubuntu boots fine, and if i reboot at
  some point that will be fine too. It's only from an absolute cold boot
  ubuntu will fail to boot. I've tried a Mint liveDVD and that boots
  fine from a cold boot. This problem started while I was running 10.0.4
  64bit, then I got the same problem after fresh install (keeping /home)
  of the current 11.10 64bit. System is a HP DC7800 (core2Duo, 6GB of
  RAM (I've tried switching sticks over), 1TB hitachi SATA HDD, Nvidia
  8400GS).
