Bug Description
Binary package hint: plymouth
Plymouth is broken on my laptop after updating to the new kernel (2.6.32-21). I can get into Lucid with 2.6.32-20 with no problems and Plymouth works and looks like it should but with 2.6.32-21 Plymouth takes up the entire screen and then the laptop wont go any further. No hdd activity, nothing.
Reboot and select recovery mode for 2.6.32-21, then FailsafeX, and then select low graphics mode and everything is fine, infact it looks like the graphics are normal.
Have tried reinstalling the kernel with no difference, also tried reinstalling plymouth and still no difference. I am currently working in kernel 2.6.32-21 in Low Graphics mode. The only things I can see by going into Recovery > FailsafeX > Low Graphics is that Plymouth is bypassed thus allowing the laptop to start.
If you need anymore information please ask.

The latest linux upload included a change to disable KMS on the i855, which your lspci output shows is what you have. So this may be a regression caused by disabling KMS on your system.
Please boot each of the following ways and report the results:
- with the 'splash' option removed from the kernel commandline
- with 'splash' and 'i915.modeset=1' included on the kernel commandline
