I have installed WinXp (32 Bit), Windows 7 (64 Bit) and Ubuntu (10.4) on my Pentium i5 machine. My monitor is
Dell 2010M flat 20 inch wide screen.
When I boot Ubuntu I dont see the classic messages I used to see something like below:
Starting Crond [OK]
Starting Keboard [FAILED]
===> This listing of whats going on behind the splash screen was displayed in versions older than v8.04 I think. In the file, /boot/grub/menu.lst I think there is a flag that you can toggle to see the boot messages instead of the splash screen. The comments above the flag, should give you details on how to enable/disable the boot messages. But I am telling this from memory. I moved on to centOS and Debian after v8.04.
This is not the correct way to update the grub on newer systems. After Ubuntu updates a kernel they overwrite this file and you will lose any changes. The correct way is as I state4d above:
To see the grub info edit /etc/default/grub and change line
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=""
then run "update-grub" in the terminal and reboot.
