3.3 XFCE 32bit
motherboard Gigabyte 939
CPU athlon x2 64bit
I did not install Plymouth
the boot process will hard lock after a fews seconds (after switching to framebuffer mode)
"Loading Kernel
Please wait"
the grub.cfg line is
linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.13-1-486 root=UUID=... ro quiet
if I edit the kernel line at grub and remove quiet the machine will boot and go to display manager
linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.13-1-486 root=UUID=... ro
Suggest a setting for those who do not install plymouth
to remove quiet from the linux kernel line
edit /etc/default/grub
change
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet"
to
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=""
then
update-grub
