If I power down my laptop via the usual KStart->Shutdown means, it
can
take up to 4 restart attempts before it fully boots.
It has no problem launching grub and the kernel selection screen. That
it does reliably every time. After that, there are issues.
Just a wild stab in the dark, but you don't have a USB drive or memory
stick plugged in while trying to boot, do you?
