@dvdb: for the missing splash screen, you just need to add "splash" to your grub conf !
edit /etc/default/grub modifiy line: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet" to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" then regen grub's conf (update-grub2) that does the trick for me :) Also, I've tested my patched mountall, and I was able to skip the tree lines you specified (/images , /backsg , /backwd), that were NOT existant on my system. Now just need to have nobootwait the default behavior... -- Boot hangs and unable to continue when automount disk in fstab is not available (Off or Disconnected) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/571444 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
