Description Stoicescu Cornel 2013-02-18 15:20:49 UTC 
build: master:3ec4df57540421df2cda6b83c615bfb7cebccefd
Environment tested on: NUC

When booting into runlevel 3, the splash screen does not go away and the loading bar stays at 99%. This gives the impression of a hang.

If I remember correctly, this happens on the majority of BSPs (example: Crownbay, Sugarbay)
Comment 1 Chen Qi 2013-03-27 08:07:05 UTC 
The root cause is in the rc script.

#Uncomment to cause psplash to exit manually, otherwise it exits when it sees a VC switch 
if [ "x$runlevel" != "xS" ] && [ ! -x /etc/init.d/xserver-nodm ]; then
    if type psplash-write >/dev/null 2>&1; then
        TMPDIR=/mnt/.psplash psplash-write "QUIT" || true
        umount /mnt/.psplash
    fi
fi

So psplash doesn't exit even when xserver-nodm is not started, for example, at runlevel 3.

I changed it to:
if [ "x$runlevel" != "xS" ] && [ ! -x /etc/rc${runlevel}.d/S??xserver-nodm ]; then
