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.

I sended a mail to the ubuntu-devel mailing list and a ubuntu developers answered that we're not using vesafb and we have not for quite a while. So the Fabio Papa suggestion does not seem to be a solution. It also confirm the fact that this bug only happens with Geforce 8xxx because one developer

I just tried Kubuntu 64 Hardy Alpha 3 and got this bug again. Booting off of the live cd with any of the default boot options results in a black screen (with monitor entering sleep mode eventually) and the system refuses to boot. I can't get into the system at all off of the live cd unless I

I think we must all be very very careful here. We have two very distinct problems which show themselves with similar behaviour. But, they're separated and must remain that way. 32 bit Ubuntu, within a particular (unknown??) set of circumstances (hw config maybe) screwes up the usplash

Ok, I think I got what the problem is. And, unfortunately, I think the solution is out of reach, at least for me. It seems we x86_64 are simply short of a usable working vesa module! That's right, because: vesafb doesn't work with newer cards. The fact that with x86 it works, it's because it
