Confirming this. This happens with the 64-bit version only; with 32-bit the boot splash works normally. This happens to me on Gutsy and Hardy Alpha 6.
I fixed it in Hardy Alpha 6 by doing the following: Edit /etc/initramfs-tools/modules, add a line: vesafb Edit /etc/modules, add a line: vesafb Edit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-framebuffer, put a # in front of the line: blacklist vesafb Edit /etc/usplash.conf. change to: x=1024, y=768 In /boot/grub/menu.lst, add vga=773 to the kernel boot line (for 1024x768, 8 bit per pixel) Run: sudo update-initramfs -u -k all -- [amd64 + nvidia 8xxx] usplash shows nothing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/147623 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
