The computer completely locks up. So nothing happens if I press ESC. By the way, on Arch using Kernel 2.6.33, this problem wasn't there before I installed Plymouth. It did come after I installed Plymouth. Also, if I use a kernel from Ubuntu's Upstream Kernels repo (version 2.6.43-rcX and above, where X is anything) or use a self-compiled 2.6.34-rc4, the problem goes away, but my sound stops working. And heck, even the Ubuntu Alternate CD boots up and shuts down fine. It doesn't have Plymouth, as far as I see. So the bug might be due a combination of factors involving the currently used kernel and Plymouth.
