Text shows before XSplash begins in the Karmic boot experience

[Brett Alton]

Binary package hint: xsplash

Following Jono's call for karmic-boot-experience testers[1], I have decided to report the text I see on my computer (Dell XPS Gen 5, Intel Pentium 4 640, nVidia GeForce 6800). This is a fresh install of Ubuntu 9.10 beta, with every single existing preference in /home I had from previous installations deleted.

The text is normal

[Brett Alton (brett-alton-deactivatedaccount)]

I know the text is normal, I see it all the time when booting up Ubuntu, but I thought the new Karmic boot experience was to see absolutely no text after POST? e.g. grub is going to be hidden, along with dmesg and what not.
