Just tried two more variations, which both fail. ------------------------------------------------ menuentry "Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.31-14-generic" { recordfail=1 if [ -n ${have_grubenv} ]; then save_env recordfail; fi set quiet=1 insmod ext2 set root=(hd0,4) search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set b7d0b17b-7c0e-4f3f-ac99-dd54922ebd93 linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-14-generic root=UUID=b7d0b17b-7c0e-4f3f-ac99-dd54922ebd93 ro splash initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.31-14-generic } ------------------------------------------------ menuentry "Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.31-14-generic" { recordfail=1 if [ -n ${have_grubenv} ]; then save_env recordfail; fi insmod ext2 set root=(hd0,4) search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set b7d0b17b-7c0e-4f3f-ac99-dd54922ebd93 linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-14-generic root=UUID=b7d0b17b-7c0e-4f3f-ac99-dd54922ebd93 ro splash initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.31-14-generic } ------------------------------------------------ The first one keeps setquiet=1. Only quiet from the kernel line is removed. The second removes both setquiet=1 and quiet from the kernel line. I think I can safely conclude that the splash option is causing my problem.
This is with a fresh install onto a brand new 10 GB ext3 partition (with the rest being dedicated to /home). However, I find this very strange. I've booted to 9.10 live CDs and live USB several times, and those were okay. I've seen the glowing white Ubuntu logo when I booted using those disks, so I'm assuming that's what the splash is all about. How come it worked off a live CD and not off a totally clean install? -- Unable to boot - clean install https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/465350 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
