I'm running a stock, on-patched 2.6.33.1 kernel from kernel.org, the same one
I was using with Karmic (I did not rebuild it, or rebuild the initramfs, it's
really the same kernel), with a pretty normal configuration.

I don't know what plymouth is, so I don't think so.

This bug reproduced right after upgrading to Lucid. I did not have any odd
configuration conflict or anything to adjust, it was a smooth upgrade, except
for this.

After reading https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MainInclusionReport/Plymouth trying to
find more about plymouth, I guess you should know that I don't see any kind of
graphic boot, probably because I do not have a framebuffer console.

I just see the normal text boot sequence until xdm starts. X also runs just
fine until it exits (i.e. all the normal applications, panel firefox, etc.,
open up and run just fine).

Everything runs ok under gdb, that's how I've been using my system since the
upgrade.

Sorry I can't provide more details about that, I've filed bug #562418 and I
hope it gets solved soon so I can get more useful backtraces.

Thanks for taking a look. Is there anything you want me to do/test?
