Comment 8 for bug 61285

Re-tested using Intrepid Alpha 5 Live CD with linux 2.6.27-2-generic

The boot progress is now shown correctly, although some ugly kernel messages flashed on the screen momentarily between 'Starting up....' and the progress indicator:

[ 2.797758] uvesafb: failed to execute /sbin/v86d
[ 2.797805] uvesafb: make sure that the v86d helper is installed and executable
[ 2.797854] uvesafb: Getting VBE info block failed (eax=0x4f00, err=-2)
[ 2.797895] uvesafb: vbe_init() failed with -22
[ 2.797939] uvesafb: probe of uvesafb.0 failed with error -22
