Edit /etc/default/grub, remove "splash" from GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT. Maybe try adding "nomodeset" to that variable if you use a Radeon GPU, these often have such problems (with other GPUs it would force using the less capable vesa X driver, radeon still works without KMS). Run "update-grub" after the change and reboot.
