I'm seeing the same behavior on an HP 530 laptop (don't have it in front of me at the moment; it's either a 945GM or 940GML chipset according to specs) after an upgrade from 12.10 to 13.04. A workaround I've found is entering the GRUB menu manually and booting with options "quiet splash" removed.
Also worth note is that I have removed those options by default by editing /etc/default/grub and running update-grub. But the workaround only seems to be effective by manually entering the GRUB menu. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1173238 Title: Ubuntu starts up to black screen.
