Bug Description

Binary package hint: mountall

(ubuntu-bug currently unable to report bugs - so doing it by hand)

Lucid - up to date as of today (13th March) - 64bit

mountall: 2.8
plymouth: 0.8.0~-14

During a boot today it decided that one of my disks needed a regular check - that's OK;
but it displayed (on the graphical boot screen) a message which was (I wrote this down
by hand so approx):

Your disk drives need to be checked for routine errors

however this flashed back and forward very very quickly (many times a second) with

Which Plymouth theme are you using?

Is plymouth able to utilise a graphical frame buffer, or do you see "Ubuntu 10.04" across the middle of the screen in plain text?

It's the standard plymouth theme as far as I know (haven't changed it
- little purple dots as I remember). It's doing it graphically - this
is an ATI Radeon RV710 card with a 1920x1080 Dell monitor.
I'm running with the open source drivers and the xorg-edgers X libraries.

Do you see an Ubuntu logo, or "Ubuntu 10.04" ?

Ubuntu logo normally; and I'm fairly sure it was at the time it gave this bug (although obviously it doesn't happen every boot).

Note I do run with a

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="ignore_loglevel netconsole=4444@192.168.66.33/eth0,514@192.1
68.66.25/00:a0:d1:63:68:a6"

in my Grub /etc/default/grub - but as I say this was already at the framebuffer with the logo

This didn't happen for me on todays fsck - maybe it's been fixed? But keep an eye out?

I've observed a similar symptom on Matt Barker's ThinkPad X200. Apparently, he's already had an exchange with Scott about it, and it's apparently being tracked as bug 501801. Noting here for cross-referencing purposes.
