Comment 26 for bug 438335

I'm experiencing this as well. I'm using Grub 1 (not a fresh install)..

After selecting the kernel to boot, the screen goes black for a few seconds, then on to the above messages (fsck [clean] and a few others.. then finally xsplash). It does indeed seem like a regression from the behavior in Jaunty - a completely quiet startup. Is this expected behavior? I'm willing to submit whatever logs are needed if it can help.
