Steve,

I will try that and give you feedback, but not the coming week. Right
now both ATI and NVidia systems are booting well -and faster!- without
Plymouth. It seems there are too many issues related to Plymouth and
given the consequences of that (unusable system) I prefer to wait a
while or even leave the splash gizmo out completely.

On the ATI 200M machine when I did see the Ubuntu logo I knew it would
boot fine. When I didn't I would reach for the power button almost
straight away because that meant it was going to hang with the vertical
lines or garbled screen.
On the NVidia 8600M I would see the blue/white bar, broken up by text
messages, followed by the 'enter-freeze' issue.

Will report back later.

cheers
Tom
