Description Rickard Närström 2008-04-05 17:57:50 UTC 
After upgrading grub I did notice that bootsplash didn't work. It apearse that grub destroied my console= option in the command line to the kernel by appending junk information.

$ hexdump -C /proc/cmdline

Comment 1 kouyu 2008-04-05 21:05:52 UTC 

I have the same problem too.
$ dmesg | head
Command line: root=/dev/sda8 video=uvesafb:1024x768-32,mtrr:3,ywrap acpi_sleep=s3_bios softlevel=ethwirelessonly??K?1???q??H?S?d???

The last option is softlevel=ethwirelessonly, but you can see there are junk after that option.
