["Christopher M. Penalver" <christopher.m.penalver@xxxxxxxxx>]

k3lt01, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any
activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If
so, could you please test for this with the latest development release
of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com
/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal
(Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the daily kernel folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.11.1

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: plymouth

  Plymouth is broken on my laptop after updating to the new kernel
  (2.6.32-21). I can get into Lucid with 2.6.32-20 with no problems and
  Plymouth works and looks like it should but with 2.6.32-21 Plymouth
  takes up the entire screen and then the laptop wont go any further. No
  hdd activity, nothing.

  Reboot and select recovery mode for 2.6.32-21, then FailsafeX, and
  then select low graphics mode and everything is fine, infact it looks
  like the graphics are normal.

  Have tried reinstalling the kernel with no difference, also tried
  reinstalling plymouth and still no difference. I am currently working
  in kernel 2.6.32-21 in Low Graphics mode. The only things I can see by
  going into Recovery > FailsafeX > Low Graphics is that Plymouth is
  bypassed thus allowing the laptop to start.

  If you need anymore information please ask.

  Michael. (k3lt01)
