Also, note that this issue is NOT specific to binary drivers! I can reproduce the problem on a system with an intel video card when gfxpayload=keep. The issue is that during a normal boot, plymouth handles the transition from graphics mode to text mode for the VT (plymouth show-splash / hide-splash), but when booting into recovery mode, plymouthd is never run except for certain edge cases (i.e., when cryptsetup is installed and plymouth is started from the initramfs before friendly-recovery runs).
So these blacklists definitely need to be reverted, and grub definitely needs to be changed to avoid use of =keep on recovery mode. ** Also affects: grub2 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: grub2 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: grub2 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Triaged ** Changed in: grub2 (Ubuntu) Milestone: None => ubuntu-11.10 ** Changed in: grub2 (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Steve Langasek (vorlon) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/854967 Title: boot to rescue mode in Oneiric To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/854967/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
