The most likely causes from the information we have here are a framebuffer problem and a usplash problem.
Just so someone that knows what he's doing has information he might need, post the first line from /boot/grub/menu.lst that begins with 'kernel' (right after 'End Default Options') -- they should look something like the following: kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.24-17-generic root=UUID=b1fab4dc-2248-4736-8067-a8ae51ad778e ro quiet splash Then post the version number that is output from the following command: apt-cache show usplash My hardy installation shows "Version: 0.5.19" Take a look at /etc/usplash.conf and see if the resolution numbers in there are crazy big (or small). In mine except for a commented line that begins with '#' the entire file is the following: xres=1280 yres=1024 Then run the following: sudo dpkg-reconfigure usplash -- Bootsplash not getting shown in hardy, ATI Radeon x2300 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/210308 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
