Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

With kernel 2.6.32-9-generic the logon screen does not freeze. With
kernel 2.6.32-10-generic it does.

Freez starts with display of the logon screen. No mouse, no keyboard.
Alt-Ctrl-F1-4 do not work. Alt-Ctrl-Backspace either. Alt-Ctrl-Del
doesn't have any result. Trying to logon remotely isn't working ---
timeout. Pinging the system has same result.

Only a hard reset or powering off helps out.

I have tried to disable splash, remove "quiet splash" from the kernel commandline, but with no result: after the kernel is loaded it reinitializes graphics. Only seeing a black screen after that. This with both kernels 2.6.32-9 and 2.6.32-10.
Furthermore: trying to switch back to a text console with Alt-Ctrl-F1 only shows a black screen without any cursor. Adding "vga=normal" to the kernel commandline leads to output: "vga=normal is deprecated ...".

under some circumstances it is neccessary to boot windows in between to
have the display work again with linux. Looks to me a lot like linux not
initializing graphics complete, leaving things as found from boots
before. Messing things up in a way nothing working any more. This state
is noticable while booting: grub will not display it's menu. Just some
random graphics, looking like modern art.
