usplash boot stops and shows text

[Jaap Haitsma]

Binary package hint: usplash

The ubuntu splash starts but after about 10 seconds I get a text boot

Hello Jaap. Thank you for your bug report.

Can you please state what version of Ubuntu and what version of usplash you are running?

Also, at what point are you thrown into text mode? What is being done at this point in time?

[Jaap Haitsma (jaap)]

I'm running feisty with the latest packages.
When it goes to text mode it just did or is doing (it's going so fast I can't really tell) Enterprise Volume Management

When or how does usplash get triggered to stop?

[C de-Avillez (hggdh2)]

it might be a timeout. Can you add in here the boot log?

[Jaap Haitsma (jaap)]

The boot log is /var/log/boot right?
My latest boot log is of Feb 13. How can I enable boot logging again?

Hi Jaap. Please can you boot with '(recovery mode)' with the latest Feisty updates as of today (there is a new 'linux-image' package). If the boot stops with with text on the screen, please can you take a digital photo of the screen.

Could you also attach the output from:

  lspci -vv
  lspci -vvn

from a boot with a working kernel. Please make sure all of these are attached, rather than pasted in.

The culprit seems to be evms. During text boot I saw that that took around 10 seconds to complete. After removing the evms package, the bootsplash is OK.
