Actually 2.6.27-6 does not fix this. It appears to be the v86d package. I had installed it about the time the kernel upgrade occurred. I removed this and I have performed several cycles and have not had a problem. With v86d the behavior varies, sometimes I get the white screen, sometimes I get a usplash screen but with strange colors and resolutions, once I did get the correct splash screen.
