   I recently moved my active system to a SSD and I am very pleased with how   
   fast it boots up and loads applications. I have two systems on the SSD;   
   my active system Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS, and a 19.10 experimental system.   
      
   In the past couple of months I am having problems booting the system.   
   At first it was intermittentl but is now a hard failure.   
      
   The experimental system boots without problems. My active system seems to   
   start booting normally and the thrashes between the normal screen (ubuntu   
   with the moving dots below) and a black screen.  This goes on for ever if   
   I let it.   
      
   I can boot successfully by entering recovery mode and booting directly   
   from there. It starts up with reams of screen text and then lets me log   
   in normally. The reams of screen text also appear on normal shut down.   
      
   Any suggestions for solving or, at least, diagnosing this problem?   
      
   Best Regards,
