Comment 17 for bug 274155

Not sure if I have exactly the same issue BUT my test machine (with an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro, using the open-source X driver when the machine is up) hangs with "quiet splash" (I do *not* get to see the splash screen). Interrupting grub and removing "quiet splash" allows the machine to boot just fine. This didn't work on initial beta install, did work a few days ago, and now does not work again. With my video card, the splash thing seems to be somewhat broken currently.
