   Can you please provide the full boot log from the system boot  where   
   you do not get the graphical login. You might be able to access the   
   log online if the system is accessible via ssh or retrospectively from   
   the system journal.   
      
   Additially please provide the information gathered by 'reportbug   
   kernel' so we gather inforation on HW, system configuration, loaded   
   modules.   
      
   Regards,   
   Salvatore
