No splash screen on Kubuntu 8.04 beta live CD 64-bit

[René Vangsgaard]

I am presented with a black screen during bootup until a light blue screen color is shown. Nothing happens after this, but that is another bug, I will report after this.

Asus V1S with Nvidia graphics card.

René Vangsgaard : There has been problems in the past with nvidia geforce 8xxx cards with usplash under AMD64. Before all, can you tell if your graphic card is a geforce 8 card? If this is the case, you don't need to post the informations I asked a few seconds earlier, the bug with nvidia geforce 8 cards has been fixed just before Hardy final release. Thanks for your bug report!

[René Vangsgaard (rene-vangsgaard)]

Yes, it is a nVidia 8600M GT (rev a1) graphic card. I have not experienced the error in Hardy final.
