Public bug reported: After a successful installation into a IBM thinkpad T42, I reboot the system, choose normal boot into grub, but the system dive into a black screen without the tradicional splash logo. After some seconds (the time to boot, I think) the GDM logon screen comes to authentication. After logon, everything is fine.
I tried to find out what's happening by type Ctrl+Alt+F[1..6] and thus I can read output into tty1(F1). I reproduce below: Starting up ... Loading, please wait... kinit: name_to_dev_t(/dev/disk/by_uuid/1652ac38-4329-4ca2-aef1-69ed1bd449e0) = sda3(8,3) kinit: trying to resume from /dev/disk/by_uuid/1652ac38-4329-4ca2-aef1-69ed1bd449e0 kinit: No resume image, doing normal boot...
