Subject: Ubuntu boot screen
Dell loaded Ubuntu 7.10 on my new system. One problem that it's had since I
got it is that it seems to hang on boot. I can't really tell if it is
hanging. The thing only displays a progress bar in its normal boot sequence.
The progress bar fails to progress. I get impatient and hit ctrl-alt-del.

When it comes time to load the operating system the second time I opt to do a
recovery boot. The system boots to runlevel 2, prints the bootlog to
standard output. I watch the text scroll by. It stops for root to log on.
I log on and exit. It launches X and waits for me to log in.

How can I get the normal boot sequence to display the boot log to STDOUT
instead of the fancy-yet-useless progress bar?
