It is a normal boot.

When I switch to the console, I don't see anything because it is
blanked out for some reason. When I run 'splashy test' from an X
terminal, I get colorful screen corruption that looks like a dump of
the video RAM on my whole screen. A cycle to console and back to X11
fixes this.

ATI Radeon Xpress 1250 running on fglrx.

cat /proc/fb
0 VESA VGA

cat /proc/cmdline
root=LABEL=root ro quiet vga=791 splash

lspci is attached.

No sorry, just this one.

Edit: I recreated the initrd and the issue seem to have fixed
themselves (both the stripes and the consoles). So maybe if you want to
try it yourself, you better purge splashy and reinstall it before
trying.

Uhm, now this is cool; I can just replace usplash with splashy which I
prefer anyway.

regards,
Marek
