Comment 32 for bug 32389

This is a working edit by removing the word splash from the kernel line everything else works as it should it is only the boot splash ans the closing splash screen (graphical) that don't show. Instead you get a generalise text boot screen which tells you the same info but without the pretty graphics. This work around has had my machine working perfectly since I reported the fault to Nvidia who told me what to do. That was back between flight 5 and 6 the only hassle is if there is a new Kernel module installed you have to remember to edit out the splash line before you reboot.
Other than that I have a fully functional pc which shutsdown reboots and goes into ALT-CTRL-F(1-7) and works well with xgl too. The splash word only removes the graphical boot eliment to the splash screen but with the frame buffer empty the card works correctly, the guy at Nvidia has reported it as an official bug and in my experience if any other cards are having this problem it is now that they should be reports to nvidia they are quite open to the idea that there are bugs and it is their goal to eliminate them but if they don't know they exist they can do nothing. This work round works on nv35 and now it appears nv36's as well ref bug 38788.
