I am guessing it is LDM related as 11.10 now uses LDM.
I will play in a Virtual machine in a little while and get back to ya unless someone else chimes in.

Regarding the original post:
Are you sure "text" is a valid kernel option? I've not seen that used in a Grub 'linux' line before, but I learn something new every day. If it can be used as a kernel option I'd appreciate seeing the link.
I use the following as my kernel options page, but it could be outdated:

Well, not a real kernel option, because it wasn't interpreted by the kernel.
It was a dirty hack used by GDM's Upstart job to prevent GDM from running if the text parameter is present. Here is the relevant part of the code:
Code:cat /etc/init/gdm.conf # gdm - GNOME Display Manager ... # Check kernel command-line for inhibitors for ARG in $(cat /proc/cmdline) do case "${ARG}" in text|-s|s|S|single) exit 0 ;; esac done ...
That makes perfect sense now. Thanks sisco311.
