Comment 13 for bug 1066410

To summarize my system (what I think might affect the boot process up until lightdm):

- 64-bit Ubuntu 12.10
- Boot from 60 GB SSD (have mounted "/"on it)
- I have an HDD with 1 NTFS partiotion & 1 ext4 partition mounted (in /mnt/...)
- I use GNOME shell rather than Unity (but still lightdm, not gdm)
- CPU is AMD Athlon x2 4850e
- I have three OS:es in my GRUB menu (Ubuntu 12.10 + Win XP + Ubuntu 10.10)

I have not spent enough time to see any pattern in when the boot process works or not. It seems to be about 50% chance that a boot will succeed or not (if not, I end up with the console + blinking cursor right before lightdm should have started).
