Watch the boot messages, modifying your boot loader's configuration to ensure that they are displayed if this is not the case by default.
With quiet and splash removed, these tell me that local-premount, local-bottom, and init-bottom executed and completed from /scripts directory. Then nothing.
There's a problem with watching boot messages on recent Ubuntu releases: What you expect to be reported, isn't. And that's even when you remove the 'quiet' and 'splash' keywords:

Rather odd attitudes seem to be at the root of this. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/665789
I don't get why geeks use Ubuntu. I think the usual argument is "it just works" (somewhat like Apples - I can at least understand that in principle, although it never worked for me, with my brain being wired to focus-follows-mouse-but-not-raise, and with middle click being broken in the opengl X11 apps I was programming, and with package management being useless), but demonstrably, it just doesn't work (so completely unlike, I mean, like Apple then). -- Tim Connors
