[Bug 854967] Re: boot to rescue mode in Oneiric

[Steve Langasek]

Also, note that this issue is NOT specific to binary drivers!  I can
reproduce the problem on a system with an intel video card when
gfxpayload=keep.  The issue is that during a normal boot, plymouth
handles the transition from graphics mode to text mode for the VT
(plymouth show-splash / hide-splash), but when booting into recovery
mode, plymouthd is never run except for certain edge cases (i.e., when
cryptsetup is installed and plymouth is started from the initramfs
before friendly-recovery runs).

So these blacklists definitely need to be reverted, and grub definitely
needs to be changed to avoid use of =keep on recovery mode.
