Comment 104 for bug 147623

In Hardy with all current updates the mentioned workaround doesn't work flawless anymore. At the first stage of the boot process where the progress bar of the splash screen goes back and forth between left and right everything seems as usual. But when the progress bar normally would change to the "report boot progress mode" (I don't know how to describe it better ;) ) the entire splash screen disappears and only a blinking text cursor is shown which changes it's screen position wildly during the continueing boot process. The start of the X-server works but all TTYs show likewise only a blinking cursor but nothing else (allthough they seem to work, if I do a "blind" login, the cursor changes it's position as it would do when text would be displayed). I have not found a way to get the splash working properly so far.

Kind regards,
Jan
