I have upgraded to Karmic Koala today, from its beta version. I was having some problem in installing grub, which were sorted out after I installed grub2.
One problem remains though. There is no boot splash while the booting process goes on. In the previous versions of Ubuntu, there used to be a nice bootsplash and I was hopping something better in Karmic Koala. So was mighty disappointed to find it missing. Moreover I don't find any way to enable it.
Is there any way I can get boot splash to work here?
