Just want to post this as a new thread, I've been struggling alot but hopefully this will be helpful for other users.
I found a bug that halts the system on startup from 1st boot after a fresh install of ubuntu 9.10 karmic koala. Its in the grub.cfg file and a line stating::
"linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-14-generic root=UUID=44118bfa-d582-45e2-964f-66886a1d4d03 ro quiet splash"
where the "splash" word needs to be edited away (for some creepy reason)
HOWTO
Go into recovery mode
Drop to root
>nano /etc/default/grub
Edit the line
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
to
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet"
and save
>update-grub
(which will update the /boot/grub/grub.cfg file)
>shutdown -r now
and now go into the normal boot and the splash screen and GUI should be there.
Good luck
