[Bug 61711] Re: no boot splash and very slow booting
** Description changed: Binary package hint: usplash Boot is very slow here on Ubuntu AMD64 (running edgy, daily dist- upgrade'ed) compared to eg Dapper and no splash is shown at all, only the blinking cursor is shown. Takes minutes to got the first message about the swap, and further minutes to get getty running (and some seconds to run gdm). I though it's an upstart problem (and it can be, I don't know) whoever the lack of splash and the fact that logging in fast after starting getty I see 99% CPU usage of usplash and another usplash processes with much lower CPU usage. I've no idea how I can help, so please require further information from me. Shutting down the machine is also very slow, and no splash either.

I had identical symptoms on a Dell Dimension 2350 - slow boot, no display. I disabled usplash by removing quiet splash from the boot options, and the boot sped up tremendously. It's an intel architecture, so it may be a different bug - but since the symptoms are the same I thought I post them here.

[Bug 61711] Re: no boot splash and very slow booting
Thought I had the same thing here, AMD, upgrade from dapper. Slow boot from grub, I see the usplash initially, but then it goes to blinking cursor, hard drive light *blinks* furiously. Tried a 'noquiet' 'nosplash' suggested above, but it does the same thing (HD starts blinking, screen sits for at least 3 minutes) when loading my USB drivers). This happens even without my mouse plugged in. After more searching, I found bug #6 and bug #67299 which seemed to have similar symptoms. Oddly enough, the upgrade created an ARRAY entry in my /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf even though I don't use any software RAID. After much trial and tribulation, this got my system back on track: 1) remove the ARRAY entry in /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf 2) run 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure mdadm, answer the questions, defaulting to no since I don't use software RAID.

just one "strange" thing more: i tried booting with the external vga plugged to an external monitor. boot went normally, splash displayed (badly, but I think it's a monitor issue) on external monitor, lcd stayed black with blinking cursor. when it reached gdm login, lcd and external monitor went in sync and showed login screen correctly.

Yes, I have no "error messages" either, just a blinking cursor and no other stuff.
