Bug description:
Binary package hint: plymouth

Maverick pre-RC ISO testing.
I got this error message on screen just before Desktop appears on the screen (after selecting Try Ubuntu in Ubiquity)

I remember I see it very often in Lucid installed system too.

Annoying because boot is not so smooth with this.
