Public bug reported:
In Dapper, usplash showed a relatively accurate and easy-to-read
progress bar during boot, and printed textual progress messages under
that in a good-contrast font and color. In Edgy, with the default boot
options there is no progress display at all. If I take "quiet" off the
kernel command line, then there is a hard-to-see progress bar and some
textual progress messages in a tiny tiny box in dark blue on black, but
there's a huge spew of kernel messages before usplash gets started and
some of the last few boot messages (before gdm starts) appear on a text
console.
Ideal behavior IMO would be a progress bar and a small number of
friendly text progress messages in "quiet" mode, and eeeverything going
to the text box in non-"quiet" but still "splash" mode. Also, the
progress bar and text messages should be in an easier-to-see color and
the text box should be a LOT bigger.
