I have the same problem with Ubuntu filling the progress bar to the very end and stopping there. I have installed only env-base and I am using the Mer bootloader.

If the progress bar stalls at the very end, i believe it means u are missing a Desktop Environment such as gnome/kde/xfce/lxde/etc or the DE is not configured to startup correctly . I always boot up by holding the home key as soon as i select ubuntu form the boot menu to reach the recovery menu and then choose activate console on frame buffer to be able to monitor the loading progress as well as be presented with a shell login when it is done. I dont use gdm so i login through the console and then just startx ( i have gdm-core installed instead of ubuntu-desktop)
Hope this helps some1

Now got everything installed and booting, but ...
have got the same problem as n810_itt, the boot progress bar stalls about 99%
Have tried going back in with chroot and doing a full upgrade but still stalling.

Thanks meizirkki, tried that but still stalls.
I Think born2wonder could be right on the login manager. I didn't install any of the 'optional' packages. Going to try that now.
As an aside, is it possible to switch VT's on the n810? I tried various key combinations without success and holding the menu key while booting still takes me through the normal boot procedure.

Thanks meizirkki, but sadly the updated xorg.conf also does not work. Will check further into this problem...
It now just reboots after the text message booting from ... I guess the ext3 partition might have been corrupted among my attempts, going to start over and see how it goes
