I did notice that the problem didn't appear to happen in Ubuntu Server 9.10 x64, with any kernel, it appeared to just skip the problem device.

Andreas mentioned something about Plymouth here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/576001/comments/34

Not sure how that affects not being able to display an error message without having the splash screen.
