OK, tested Ubuntu Alpha-1 with kernel 2.6.34.5-generic #14 Jun 04 06:18 in
VMware.
Would have used current kernel but couldn't easily get shared folders working.
Also cannot get gdm to accept keyboard input so had to set null password then
auto-login.
Console messages HAVE improved in continuity.
With "quiet splash" commented out in /boot/grub/grub.cfg, messages were
continuous as far as "running scripts/init-bottom..." when the BIOS screen
briefly reappeared before gdm started.
I cannot get vmware to map "Ctrl-Alt-F1" which, in some distributions, gives
access to the console boot messages, but I did see the tail end of them by
telinit 1 (telinit 3 does not stop X - why?).
That tail end looks like those following the "init-bottom" point.
I've not used the latest Slackware, but last year's Zenwalk did manage to start
and stop its X-server without losing the console messages, as have all previous
Slackware versions. This is very useful in the event of freeze-ups during boot.
I suspect this is a debian-type X11 issue as Redhat also (usually) preserves
the console.
