Hi,

Can you boot in to single user mode and run fsck and see if that
crashes the machine?

When you get the grub prompt hit "e", then press "down" once,
then "e" and replace "splash" at the end of the line with "single",
hit "enter" and then "b". This should bring up a menu when booting
and allow you to select a root shell.

Once there then run

  fsck -a /dev/sda

and see if you get the instant reboot.

If simply removing splas from the kernel command line
(as above) works then this is indeed a usplash bug.

If the above procedure does not work then it is a bug lower
down.

Thanks,

James
