[Eug-lug] install problems

[Jason LaPier]

Awesome, thanks Garl - I had this problem too and was just about to hunt
around for a solution - nice timing! I should mention that after
changing my usplash.conf from 1280x1024 to 1024x768, running
update-usplash-theme wasn't enough. As suggested by some in bug report,
I had to run:
sudo update-initramfs -u -k `uname -r`
 
After that, I get the splash screen and a much faster boot.

	Ron,
	    My notes are below. The problem is related to upsplash. It
is defaulting to a resolution that is outside of the range that most
laptops can support. So you basically need to change the resolution to
something that the screen supports. Most people seem to be using
800x600. I opted for the native resolution of 1440x900. So, there you
go. Let me know if you have questions.

speeds boot.

	Fix: Change resolution for upsplash to something the system
supports 
	
	sudo vi /etc/usplash.conf
