Update
I cloned the original 160 GB hard drive onto a new 160 GB SSD. The
booting problem is even worse now. It used to take 2-6 tries to get my
laptop to boot. Now it takes about 10.
The SMART tests from the original 160 GB drive all came back fine. So
did all the fscks.
I've run the bios memory check and it comes back fine too.
The boot problem also occurred when I booted the ubuntu 10.4 live CD.
Any ideas ?
Unless the BIOS memory test is exhaustive rather than quick, run
memtest. However, it could also be a motherboard problem or problem
with seating of the internal boards in the machine.
