Thanks. Not sure I follow that, though. I can change the boot order without too many problems. What I was interested in was either avoiding installing plymouth or disabling it. For the moment, I've changed the grub command line to include "quiet" which stops plymouth displaying and means I can see the error messages quickly enough to react.

I haven't yet. I've got a copy of Xubuntu 4.04, so I guess I can try that. I've never seen that error before, and on the few occasions that I've had problems with xfs, running xfs_repair normally shows what the error was and also clears it (unless the drive itself is faulty). The fact that the error didn't clear and that some damage seems to have been done was what concerned me. Once I set Grub to boot Arch again, I had all sorts of problems with things not running as they should. Ended up having to boot from a live CD and run xfs_repair on the Arch root partition, which I've never had to do before...
