Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: plymouth
Since the removal of the /usr/share/initramfs-tools/conf-
hooks.d/plymouth file from the package (which used to contain
FRAMEBUFFER=y, my boot screen has various crufty text appearing on it
(fsck etc..), and there is an ugly mode switch from 640x480 to
1680x1050, presumably as the console is initialised.
Restoring the FRAMEBUFFER=y option in /etc/initramfs-
tools/conf.d/plymouth_local has "fixed" the problem for me, although I'm
not sure the transition between plymouth and gdm is as smooth as it was
previously.
It does however, nean that plymouth appears right after grub quits, and
the boot is much more seamless.
As it statnds, the initramfs appears to be outputting text, and taking a
non-negligable amount of time to get to the point where plymouth will be
started by upstart. I'm not sure if this the initramfs at fault, or
upstart not starting plymouth soon enough.
This is on an HP 6730b with intel GM45 graphics. (KMS), using xorg-edgers PPA
(for decent libdrm), 2.6.33 DRM from the for-linus branch of the Intel-drm
kernel. IE.. KMS is working properly.
