Comment 13 for bug 518034

I had the same problem or a similar one with the AMD64 version, on an off-the-shelf Dell Inspiron 1564, i3 based version with Arrandale graphics. The system would hang on boot, and would sit there for a while before actually doing anything, if it did anything at all. Removing Plymouth with Synaptic worked, cut my boot time to a fraction of what it is with it installed, and gives me a few annoying command prompt errors on boot and shutdown.

Let me know if I need to attach an lspci and lshw.
