[Bug 465350] Re: Unable to boot - clean install

[Chris H.]

Just tried two more variations, which both fail.
------------------------------------------------
menuentry "Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.31-14-generic" {
        recordfail=1
        if [ -n ${have_grubenv} ]; then save_env recordfail; fi
 set quiet=1
 insmod ext2
 set root=(hd0,4)
 search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set b7d0b17b-7c0e-4f3f-ac99-dd54922ebd93
 linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-14-generic root=UUID=b7d0b17b-7c0e-4f3f-ac99-dd54922ebd93 ro splash
 initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.31-14-generic
}
------------------------------------------------
menuentry "Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.31-14-generic" {
        recordfail=1
        if [ -n ${have_grubenv} ]; then save_env recordfail; fi
 insmod ext2
 set root=(hd0,4)
 search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set b7d0b17b-7c0e-4f3f-ac99-dd54922ebd93
 linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-14-generic root=UUID=b7d0b17b-7c0e-4f3f-ac99-dd54922ebd93 ro splash
 initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.31-14-generic
}
------------------------------------------------
The first one keeps setquiet=1.  Only quiet from the kernel line is removed.  The second removes both setquiet=1 and quiet from the kernel line.  I think I can safely conclude that the splash option is causing my problem.

This is with a fresh install onto a brand new 10 GB ext3 partition (with
the rest being dedicated to /home).

However, I find this very strange.  I've booted to 9.10 live CDs and
live USB several times, and those were okay.  I've seen the glowing
white Ubuntu logo when I booted using those disks, so I'm assuming
that's what the splash is all about.  How come it worked off a live CD
and not off a totally clean install?
