Package: plymouth
Version: 0.8.3-18+b1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
To use plymouth, uvesafb must be used on many systems, including kvm
virtual machines. (Other options are nievida or amd graphics cards,
I think.) However, with linux-2.6 2.6.39-{1,2} the system will not
boot up any longer, after grub: http://oi51.tinypic.com/33utjyu.jpg
waldi says to take this up with the plymouth maintainer because
“.39 works” and “no graphics-stuff in initramfs”.
With 2.6.38-2 I see the rocket just fine, even though it took
me about one and a half hour to get it initially set up, which
in itself is already… too much.
The existence of an animated boot screen is an important criterium
to many, including the desktops we use at work, which currently are
using that kubuntu 8.04 thing but scheduled to be replaced with
proper Debian soon. (spacefun serves as proof it works, for now.)
