Comment 19 for bug 332772

The bug doesn't appear so far under Ubuntu 9.10. I presume it is a
9.04-related bug. With 9.10 I also have no problems with Usplash
anymore.

From my experience so far I would recommend the subscribers to make a
switch to (K)Ubuntu 9.10.

> So far I resolved it by removing "splash" from grub, and adding "vga=791" instead.  as a result, I can now show down the computer properly.  I'm not sure what other information I can provide to help.
