Thank you Saivann, I got into other problems like X failing after that (see my previous comment).
There was a problem in my menu.lst... I had included "noapic". To make gutsy run on my laptop I needed that.
Hardy does not seem to require that anymore. I did a fresh install of Hardy. The new menu.lst does not have noapic. I do not have any problems with usplash anymore.
