Confirmed bug with:
Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon installed to hard disk from Desktop CD
Compaq Presario 900 Laptop
AMD 1700+ cpu, 512M ram, ATI Radeon Mobility 320M U1 video
Fixed with:
$sudo gedit /etc/usplash.conf
# Usplash configuration file
xres=1024
yres=768
Method1:
$sudo aptitude install startupmanager
$sudo startupmanager
Under Display: Resolution = 1024x768
Color Depth = 16 bits
Under Misc: Checked "Show bootloader menu" AND "Show boot splash"
Closed StartUp-Manager
Method2:
$sudo cp /boot/grub/menu.lst /boot/grub/menu.lst.bak
$sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
add vga=791 to end of kernel line
(eg: kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-generic root=............ quiet
splash vga=791)
Reboot machine.
I did NOT run update-initramfs
($sudo update-initramfs -c -k all -OR- $sudo update-initramfs -u -k `uname
-r`).
Grub screen works. Splash screen works. Login screen works. Splash on shutdown
works.
Boot time is faster.
