I had a similar problem after installing nvidia drivers on Ubuntu 10.04. I fixed it following this tutorial, option 1: http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Fix-the-Big-and-Ugly-Plymouth-Logo-in-Ubuntu-10-04-140810.shtml

After upgrading to 10.10 the workaround is still working, and I see a nice boot screen. This my grub.cfg line:

linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.35-22-generic root=UUID=d8df72bc-5eb0-4f73-98bc-2561cd4e6ced ro quiet splash nomodeset video=uvesafb:mode_option=1280x1024-24,mtrr=3,scroll=ywrap

And my /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/splash content:

cat /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/splash
FRAMEBUFFER=y

Hope it helps!
