I get a black screen with a blinking cursor for 6 seconds or so (it used to say "Starting up..." before I upgraded to GRUB 2). Then I get boot messages that slowly appear in Ubuntu's console font. Only late into the boot process do I get the xsplash progress spinner.
I'm attaching the boot messages I get. ** Attachment added: "Messages that appear before xsplash" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/33103724/screendump.txt -- [karmic] messages before xsplash starts https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/440737 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
