Comment 58 for bug 701060

During a normal boot, after the first animated white dot turns red, the following was observed:

- pressing SHIFT once: no effect
- pressing ESC once: takes you to a verbose screen as if quiet splash was commented out and then offers the usual multi user login screen
- LeftAlt+F1: gives a black screen with a small blinking underscore in the upper left corner, followed by the usual multi user login screen
- RightAlt+F1: same as LeftAlt+F1

Note that each of the above 4 tests were conducted with 1 boot, so 4 distinct boots were required to cycle through the tests.

I will wait for your feedback before testing the rest:

 - if logged in, log out
 - switch to VT1 with Ctrl+Alt+F1
 - log in as root (or log in as admin user and run sudo -s, if you don't have a root password)
 - run 'service gdm stop' to shut down X
 - run 'service plymouth start' to start the plymouth daemon
 - run 'plymouth splash; sleep 30; plymouth quit' as a single commandline
