I'm using gutsy with a VGA compatible controller: S3 Inc. VT8375 [ProSavage8 KM266/KL266] and I still have this problem. I had to change these lines on /boot/grub/menu.lst:
defoptions=quiet splash kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-generic root=UUID=839a578a-1072-4988-9fc2-3c089b63efab ro quiet splash
to
defoptions=nosplash kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-generic root=UUID=839a578a-1072-4988-9fc2-3c089b63efab ro nosplash
