I tested 0.8.2-0ubuntu1~ppa2, and still get exactly the same crash.
Please note that I do not press any keys during startup (since the
changelog links this bug with a "keyboard handling" fix)
I did three boots, and it looked differently each time:
1) No plymouth at all, text mode all the way through X (this was
without ureadahead pack, so the boot took a little longer)
2) Text mode most of the time, plymouth splash appears for a second,
X. (I think this categorizes as "work fine")
3) Text mode most of the time, then a black screen without the cursor
for a second, and then back to text mode (and finally X, with
starting into a white screen). This was probably plymouthd starting
up, crashing, and writing an apport report.
I do not get a crash report every time, I suppose plymouth and apport
start around the same time and it's a race. But I still get it very
frequently.
Thanks,
Martin
