Same problem for me with Gutsy RC1. Screen is blank for most of boot and all of shut down.

GeForce 8600 PCI-e video card. There is also a Radeon 1250 onboard that is not used.

/etc/usplash.conf has 1280x1024, which should be supported, but only up to about 75 Hz. Best mode is 1024x768@85 (which is the mode X defaulted to).

/var/log/boot is empty.

Haven't tried plugging in the onboard video card or experimenting with the screen resolution.
