Bug Description
After some recent alpha upgrade of Intrepid Ibex, the quiet splash has not worked properly on my laptop (Acer Travelmate 2354). The splash freezes at about one fifth of the process bar and booting up will not continue. Verbose booting (i.e. after removing "quiet splash") works very fast and fine, i.e. the boot-up process does not hang in the verbose mode.
I posted a bit more about this in Ubuntu Forums: http://
UPDATE Sept. 25: After some new distribution updates, I tried quiet splash again and the behaviour has changed. The process bar no longer freezes, just stops for a couple of seconds at the same spot where it previously froze completely. However, on the couple of occasions I retried it, usplash was otherwise interrupted: first, by a blue screen asking me whether I would like to repair xorg, resume normal boot, etc. (my keyboard stopped functioning properly at this point: the only keys to use seemed to be the enter key and backspace, while the arrow keys returned just weird combinations of characters), and the second time just for a brief black screen with an error message. Might have been the first of these lines in my /var/log/messages:

I'm also seeing similar behavior. I enabled show "text during boot". It freezes when it's showing "Waiting for root file system". It boots fine when I do the recovery boot
