Without vga=792 i get even stranger behaviour: 1. Splash appears, progressbar moves, no text 2. Progressbar halfway, garbled screen 3. Console login prompt 4. Console font change 5. X starts.
I now remember that some of these strange things started to happen around the time I installed upstart... might be related?? -- [Edgy] No text in usplash https://launchpad.net/bugs/60790 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
