Comment 1 for bug 465350

The bootloader in karmic is grub2; reassigning to the correct package.

Does the system boot if you remove *only* the 'quiet splash' options from the end of the kernel command line? Does it boot if you remove *only* the 'set quiet=1' option? (One is an option to grub, the others are options to kernels, so this will help us narrow down where the bug lies.)
