Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. This bug did not have a package associated with it, which is important for ensuring that it gets looked at by the proper developers. You can learn more about finding the right package at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage . I have classified this bug as a bug in usplash.

unfortunately this happens even with the "splash" option is erased
and I couldn't find linux-2.6.27 in the list of packages (only 2.6.26)

[Jean-Baptiste Lallement (jibel)]

The Alpha5 for Intrepid Ibex 8.10 contains the newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel.
Please get it from http://www.ubuntu.com/testing . You should then be able to test via a LiveCD.

Please let us know immediately if this newer 2.6.27 kernel resolves the bug reported here or if the issue remains.

Thanks for your help.

When booting with unetbootin everything seems to load fine (indicating that the previous bug was fixed) but then it dumps me into an initramfs (or something like that) console

i removed quiet and splash from the kernel options but there weren't any fatal errors

I checked casper.log and it said "no suitable live medium was found" (or something along those lines)

Although i didn't start from a LiveCD (don't have a blank CD at the moment) it should still boot up from the image on the hard drive

[Mbarak A. Bujra (mbarak)]

Bump?

[Jean-Baptiste Lallement (jibel)]

Can you please attach the file casper.log it should contains the needed debugging information? Thanks.

i just downloaded it again (using the daily_live 64bit option of unetbootin) and it works fine
no extra parameters needed, it just started all except for one small thing

I had to take out the splash parameter or else the screen would just go black
i could tell it was starting, and i was able to log in, but if the splash parameter was set - the screen would just be black
when i took off the splash option it complained about not being able to run /sbin/v86d or something along those lines

this is fixed by removing the splash option, installing the restricted nvidia drivers, and then it boots up fine from there, with no extra parameters or anything out of the ordinary

[Jean-Baptiste Lallement (jibel)]

I'm closing this report regarding this being fixed with the latest alpha release.
Regarding your other bug with usplash this is likely bug 246269 or bug 243682 .

Thanks for your help to make Ubuntu better.
