Comment 3 for bug 591825

plymouth crashed very early in the boot process, so i presume, apport did
not manage to gather any other information.

I've droppen the vga=791 and splash from the defoptions line in menu.lst,
that completely kills my console (only ssh login possible)
Dropping only the splash from the menu.lst still crashes plymouth (directly
after cups boot).

Can i manually collect a backtrace you can use and if yes, please send me
the appropriate commands. (direct debugging also possible, contact me via
jabber @ <email address hidden>)
