Comment 7 for bug 609864

Does the default install of Server even have the splash screen installed?

I am running a plain install of Lucid Server x64. I know the desktop version has the splash screen - plymouth, isn't it? I don't recall if it's installed and enabled by default on the server install.

I checked what the kernel boot options look like on a VM copy of my physical server and they are attached.

Here's what the grub options look like:

recordfail
insmod ext23
set root='(hd0,1)'
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set ea9998bb-6052-4a29-b588-525a7693f1bf
linux /boot/vmluinuz-2.6.32-24-server root=UUID=ea9998bb-6052-4a29-b588-525a7693f1bf ro quiet
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-24-server

I removed the "quiet" part and it still got stuck after running fsck and sat there without displaying an error message.

Is there a way to force it to auto-skip devices that are not ready?
