Same thing on my Dell XPS 1330.
My problems may have started when I removed the "quiet" option from grub. I don't think I've seen this with that option on.
Attached is
sudo lspci -vvnn > lspci-vvnn.txt dmesg > dmesg.txt /boot/grub/menu.lst > menu.lst /etc/usplash.conf > usplash.conf uname -a > uname-a.txt
