Comment 2 for bug 102712

I looked at my grub options and they are standard. No
extra stuff, whatever the installer picks, nothing
changed by me. Dual boot with windows xp pro. I have a
laptop though so no video settings, I am not sure if a
desktop would add the video by default or not. I have
vga=xxx settings on my desktop but that has gentoo
installed. At the time I also had kubuntu installed,
which I added afterwords with synaptic. Maybe it
caused some problems because of that. I couldn't get
the issue to go away so I reinstalled it and haven't
added kubuntu to it. Sorry I no longer have the
original menu.lst file so I don't know if that made it
added some vga=xxx settings or maybe pointed to a
bootsplash file that wasn't there or something.
Here is my current top entry"
title Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.20-16-generic

kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.20-16-generic

savedefault"

It could be something with the splash flag, on gentoo
you have to specify the splash image and then also the
vga=xxx settings. It looks like this has some
automatic setting for that and maybe didn't set things
correctly. If you have any other questions let me
know, seeing your menu.lst may help, I hope I was
helpful but I never figured out exactly why mine was
doing it.
