Bug Description
During the boot-up process of Ubuntu 10.04, an error message appears on the boot screen (just below the "ubuntu" logo and below the blinking white/red dots). However, another message with instructions on how to proceed appears exactly on top of the error message, making it nearly impossible to read the error message.
This bug is about the two messages overlapping. See attached screenshot.
This bug occurs both when using the Nvidia proprietary driver, and ALSO when using the free nvidia driver. It seems unrelated to the driver used by X.
