Ubuntu 10.10 (AMD64)
Windows 7 Pro x64 (dual boot using GRUB)
ASUS P7P55 LX motherboard
4 GB DDR3 RAM (Corsair)
1 TB Caviar Black HDD
NVIDIA GTX 275 (using NVIDIA drivers, not Ubuntu ones)
Windows 7 seems to be happy now. I noticed that my BIOS was set to IDE mode, so I switched to AHCI and reinstalled everything. Ubuntu continues to have a 50% boot success rate. Half the time, it'll boot just fine. The rest of the time, it fails. From a console view, I get a screen full of what seem to be error messages. I plan on snapping a photograph next time it happens. All I can say is that it is littered with mention of "debugfs", "kernel", and whatever else. The messages are formatted something like this.
After outputting a hundred or so, it just sits there forever. I have to shut off my computer and turn it on again. Then it boots fine... but it fails the next time I try booting. I've discovered others with issues relating to this mobo/CPU combination.
I'm fairly certain my disc drive is a SATA drive.
If you need me to place any logs here, just let me know where they are. I'm very comfortable with terminal commands; I just don't know where Ubuntu keeps everything yet.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
