Question #78172 on Ubuntu changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/78172

    Status: Open => Answered

actionparsnip proposed the following answer:
if you run:

sudo cp /boot/grub/menu.lst /boot/grub/menu.lst_old; gksudo gedit
/boot/grub/menu.lst

you can remove the word 'quiet' from the boot option. This wil hide the
stupid bootsplash and let you see what is actually going on. You can
then diagnose from there.

I personally always uninstall usplash as I find the screen to be
redunant. I also prefer to watch what is going on at boot incase such an
issue as your occurs.

Once you have diagnosed the issue, you are free to add the option back
in. The first bit creates a backup of the file incase it doesn't boot
after you remove the option. This can be renamed back in in root
recovery console.
