I can confirm this bug on the following hardware: AMD64 2800+ (Socket 754) nVidia 6600 GT (AGP)
Ubuntu Version: edgy-desktop-amd64.iso (knot2) (Used as a live environment) Booting from the CD works, but no splash screen on startup or shutdown. PS: Works fine with knot1 -- does not work at all on amd64 with nvidia card https://launchpad.net/bugs/60135 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
