Comment 12 for bug 555214

I just tested with the latest updates (April 18th) and this is still an issue.
A look at the bootchart reveals that plymouthd is actually started very early during the boot process (as it should). However the splash does not appear. Instead I only see a black screen with a blinking cursor. Then some boot messages, then a dark black screen and then finally the gdm-login screen.

I attach the bootchart.

Please let me know if I can provide information that could help to solve this issue.
