Hardy startup progress bar missing after installing Intrepid Ibex

[arief@gmail]

Hi all.


Hardy is great.
There are still some hair-pulling problem, but that is for another
post and possibly some bug reports.

What I'm going to ask here is another thing, after get up and running
with hardy, I also want to try Intrepid Ibex. So I installed it to a
last unused partition on my system.

The configuration is like this:
- /dev/sda1 => Hardy
- /dev/sda2 => swap (shared with hardy and intrepid)
- /dev/sda3 => Intrepid

Since I go with the usual and not expert install, as expected, Hardy's
grub is override by Intrepid. Not wanting this, since Hardy is my main
system, I reboot to hardy and reinstall hardy's grub, configure it
manually to be able to boot intrepid.

What I notice though, after installing intrepid, I couldn't get ubuntu
progress bar displayed. The usplash splash-screen on initial boot is
still there, but then I just got text output from init scripts.

I have try to reconfigure and reinstall usplash, update-initramfs,
even reinstall kernel with no luck.

I also remember that when I'm installing intrepid, I resized the swap
partition,  this caused swap to be inactive in hardy. It was caused by
changed UUID for /dev/sda2 (due to resizing?). Fixing /etc/fstab and
updating the UUID with the latest one, swap is working back.

But the progress bar is still missing.

Any help or pointers would be appreciated.


All the best.
