I can no longer reproduce it on current versions of Kubuntu 10.04 But I suspect what happened was a combination between bug 574808 (RAID issue causing the actual failure to boot) and 574814 (display issue hiding any indication of what really went wrong).
Lesson learned: messing with the display during early boot is a really bad idea, because it removes means of tracking down other unrelated problems if it goes wrong. -- if "splash" and "quiet" are on, system crashes on startup https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/574943 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
