Binary package hint: usplash

Once the Ubuntu splash screen loads with the progress bar that moves back and forth, it freezes. Holding down any key unfreezes the system, and it continues
loading normally, until I release the key, at which point it freezes again. Holding a key down again unfreezes the system again.

Pressing Alt+F1 to show the output also freezes, so I know it isn't just the splash screen freezing, but the entire system.

Once X loads, it works perfectly fine though, and I don't have to keep holding a key down.
