I think this only happens on computers with the latest nVidia GPUs (Geforce 8 series). All the people which is reporting here the bug, has an nvidia Geforce 8.
Today, I popped in a LiveCD of Ubuntu 7.10 (64 bit) on a laptop with an ATI Radeon HD 2600, and it starts flawlessly. No "nosplash" hack. The laptop is a Toshiba Satellite Pro P200 18T (Serial Number: PSPB7E-00Q00HCE).

So I think that Saïvann Carignan is right, the problem should be in linux-restricted-modules.
