It seems that the "nosplash" workaround fixes kernel 2.6.22-14 booting on ubuntu gutsy RC.

on Gutsy

1) edit the grub menu file:
sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst

2) find the line that says
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-generic root=UUID=289068d7-1370-4197-9c9c-0158604be66b ro quiet splash

3)change the splash to nosplash - afterwards the line looks like this
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-generic root=UUID=289068d7-1370-4197-9c9c-0158604be66b ro quiet nosplash

This fixed my box - home it helps others.
