A hang at the splash screen with four dots lit would normally mean that plymouth has exited, and that something else is supposed to start. Is this installed as an Ubuntu desktop system? If you press Alt+F1 at the hang, do you get to the console login screen?


Ok, I have similar problems with ubuntu amd64 (965 BE/Ati 4890) and new Kernel 2.6.32. Tried out other Distros with 2.6.33 same problems. System hangs on boot, continues when pressing the power button many times. I think, you should turn off the splash screen. Next step: Boot and look, where it hangs. Try the power button. If the system react, try "nolapic_timer" or similar in the kernel-line. This fix this for me in Ubuntu, Arch and Sabayon. PS: Trying this in Arch without X install. This Error is in my opinion not related to fglrx.
