Public bug reported: I normally have my grub.cfg set up so that I see the kernel messages during the boot process. Since Ubuntu has upgraded to the 3.0.x Kernel, this no longer works; instead, once the Grub menu has disappeared, all I see until X has started is a very disconcerting blank screen.
Booting 2.6.38-11 from the same Grub menu DOES show me the kernel messages. Ideally, 3.0.x kernels should respect the splash=verbose directive. But even if not, at least SOME indication of progress should be show.
