To extract the usplash.conf file from the initramfs, follow these steps:
1. open a terminal
2. run this command: mkdir tmp; cd tmp; gzip -cd /boot/initrd.img-$(uname -r) | cpio -im; cp -a etc/usplash.conf ..; cd ..; rm -rf tmp
(best is to paste this line in your terminal, if you retype it, type it exactly as shown above and don't forget the double dot's near the end)

This will leave a file usplash.conf in the current dir.

Now check it's contents with: cat usplash.conf
Now check the contents of the one on the root-fs: cat /etc/usplash.conf

If they show different resolutions, then copy the one you just extracted with the command: sudo cp -a usplash.conf /etc/usplash.conf
Now the usplash resolution used at shutdown is the same with the one used to boot.
