Public bug reported: Binary package hint: plymouth
I dont' know wether it's a bug in plymouth or a bug in grub. Setting /etc/default/grub GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="" or to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="noplymouth" causes an unreadable boot-message. Maybe black letters on black background???
