FYI: All the special characters in /etc/issue will go away in the next filesystems release (as agetty deals with it now).
Also, if you want to see what happened during boot, there is /var/log/boot
Something remotely related for which I'd appreciate a solution:
On one of the laptops I use, at some point during the boot sequence the display brightness is reduced to almost invisible.
Any ideas of where to look to fix this ?
