Just a quick question: Are you booting using a USB-live-cd?
This may or may not be relevant: So far, I have only received these types of errors when booting from an external USB-live-cd (with persistence). In case it helps, when I type "ls /var/crash/" that directory the following files (whose contents I can't read due to a sudo problem):
_usr_bin_Xorg.0.crash
_usr_lib_gvfs_gvfsd-metadata.999.crash
_usr_bin_zeitgeist-daemon.999.crash
(There's also a ".lock" file.)
In my case, I can't tell if this is a bug in ubuntu, or simply an i/o error (due to cheap unreliable USB flash media).
Again, I don't know if any of this is relevant.
