@sheldonross: With regard to the shutdown logo, what type of graphics card do you have?
Also, could you install bootchart and send the .png file in /var/log/bootchart after you reboot *twice* (the first reboot profiles with sreadahead). That may help us see if there's something unexpected going on for you. Oh, and add the line to /etc/default/grub that I mentioned in comment #13...that should help with the messages. -- Boot messages show before xsplash kicks in https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/438335 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
