You need to edit your grub configuration file using:
gksu gedit /etc/default/grub
look for the line containing “quiet splash” and change it like so:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="splash plymouth:debug"
You might have other options there like kslar or vt.handoff=7 leave them in place. The important thing is to remove quiet and add plymouth:debug.
Save the file and then use:
sudo update-grub
Now when you reboot error messages appear on the boot screen plus a full plymouth log is located at:
/var/log/plymouth-debug.log
Good luck tracing down you errors!
