[karmic] [ubuntu-boot-experience] delays and text appearing between grub and xsplash

[Rachel Greenham]

Binary package hint: xsplash

not sure if xsplash is the right package to report against but one MUST name a package these days and 'ubuntu-boot-experience' won't do, so...

So the Beta page says, report if text appears between grub and xsplash.

Hardware is an Asus EeePC 1008HA

First, VGA text cursor, flashes 32 times, flashes slightly faster than seconds; probably about 20 secs
Then framebuffer text cursor, flashes (faster) about 13 times, followed by following text:

Additionally get framebuffer console text on restart; just before the restart:
