This happens to me too. If I switch VTs during the boot (to cause
usplash to stop early), the corruption doesn’t happen. I have narrowed
down the time of the corruption to while /etc/rc2.d/S30gdm is running.
The gdm initscript is supposed to close usplash before loading gdm. One
stupid workaround is to put the following executable script into
/etc/rc2.d/S29go-away-usplash:
#!/bin/sh
DO_NOT_SWITCH_VT=yes exec /etc/init.d/usplash start
I don’t understand what exactly is wrong with the existing code in the
gdm initscript to do the same thing.
