slash2314, thank-you!

In all my testing I usually remove "quiet splash" to watch the boot messages which explains why I was unable to reproduce it. I also found this does indeed affect x86_64 as well. Because I run development kernels I never have the "quiet" option enabled - hence my not being affected.

I've rewritten the bug title since it appears to affect more machines.

So, the revised work-around is to remove the "quiet" option from the kernel command line. If you're using an installed system, do this in /boot/grub/menu.lst and maybe change the default koptions.

For the LiveCD, press "F6" when the menu appears, press "End" to get to the end of the command line, and then use back-space to delete the "quiet" option. Press Enter to continue to boot.
