Bug Description
To reproduce:
1-install type "server"
2-boot new installation
3-reconfigure /boot/grub/menu.lst with a vga=0x122 or vga=0x314 on kernel line
4-install an X desktop and its deps (I do kubuntu-desktop)
5-apt-get remove usplash, or set up to boot using an alternate boot loader (I use SUSE's grub), or otherwise reconfigure so that init has no splash and all normal init messages display in text big enough to see and read on tty1
6-reboot
7-Ctrl-Alt-F1
Actual results:
1-normal init messages display on tty1
2-video switches from native text mode to text emulated graphics mode (as installer uses)
3-login prompt appears
4-init messages continue:
a-ubuntu login: * Starting system log...
b-* Starting kernel log...
c-* Starting Common Unix Printing System: cupsd
Expected results:
1-normal init messages display on tty1
2-login prompt appears
3-nothing more appears on tty1 until logging in
4-video stays in native text mode
This is edgy network installation on old ATI video card.

As you can see from line "a" above, the login prompt actually is displayed, however it is displayed before the initscripts are run. If you press enter, the login prompt should reappear.
I am experiencing the same problems with Feisty (Server edition).
I tried changing the setting "DELAYLOGIN" in /etc/default/rcS but it has no effect. Is this an upstart bug for not adhering to this setting?
