It's a long shot, but was the installation corrupted somehow? I just
had problems with a 10.4 mythbuntu install where it would start booting
but the screen remained black. I could ctrl-alt-del but that was about
all. It turns out the disk was a bit funny. I re-installed on a new HD
(and upgraded to 10.10 at the same time) and now it's good.
This is a bit of a stab in the dark but worth a shot. The other usual
"weird behaviour cause" is to look at the RAM. Run memtest for a while
and see what you get.
HTH,
