Bug Description
After running some upgrades under Ubuntu 11.10, my Asus UL20FT laptop would not boot. It's a dual-boot setup, so the Grub sreen appeared automatically, but after selecting linux 3.0.0-15, it diplayed only a dark screen. I'm reporting this as a plymouth bug in accordance with the instructions here (https:/
Strategies tried:
- Robooting with recovery mode, machine booted with some issues like low screen resolution
- Rebooting and selecting version 3.0.0-14 from previous versions, machine booted and worked properly
- Re-installed linux 3.0.0-15 packages, machine still would not boot 3.0.0-15
- Removed 3.0.0-15 packages with synaptic, now machine boots 3.0.0-14 by default and works properly
I notice that 3.0.0-15 is no longer showing up as an update for me. I'm aware of a similar thread here (http://

Hi Andrew,
Sounds like a kernel regression. Reassigning to the linux package.
