This bug appeared while I was trying to enable native resolution console 
(1440x900, is visible in BIOS - see hwinfo file) on my laptop with nvidia 
graphics (I'm using a proprietary driver).
On a fresh install of karmic 64-bit version (grub2 is installed) and the 
console works as I wanted it to work, just the splash parameter in the kernel 
line needs to be deleted. In fact, while the parameter is there, the boot also 
goes as it should be (along with the native resolution) but then all the ttyX 
consoles are blank (although they work). Somewhere I've found that usplash can 
be debugged using this command:  

sudo strace usplash -c &> error

so I've done this, but I don't see any suspicious behaviour (file
attached).

I needed to add "gfxpayload=keep" to the /etc/grub.d/10_linux file, in
order to make native resolution work (see the grub.cfg file).

the rest is in the files attached.

I think that having usplash and a working console in native resolution
shouldn't create such a problem, that's why I submitted this bug.
