No boot with "splash quiet" options after upgrade

[foxy123]

I have upgraded my daughter's HP DV6 laptop to 14.04 and could not boot into it. After removing options splash and quiet it started to boot but it looks a bit ugly and I wonder if I can turn them back using probably some other options? The grub config file looks now like:

GRUB_DEFAULT=0
#GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=5
#GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true
GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
#GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="acpi_osi=Linux quiet splash"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="acpi_osi=Linux"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""

Did you change something else to make the computer boot? If that is the case, you can try with the boot options quiet splash again. I suggest that you try it temporarily (editing the grub menu). See this link

No, I left all other things as they were. I have already tried to add the quiet and splash back and the laptop did not boot.

The easy solution is to accept that it is ugly during boot.

Other options include trying with various boot options, for example those suggested at F6 in the installer:

acpi=off
noapic
nolapic
edd=on
nodmraid
nomodeset

(I'm not sure, maybe nomodeset is the most likely to help you)

Thanks a lot. Tried out all of them with the following results:

acpi=off failed: booted but no wifi
noapic OK
nolapic OK
edd=on failed
nodmraid OK
nomodeset failed

Currently I set it to noapic but I am not sure which is better if any.

I think it is OK with noapic.
