I found out that Ubuntu's install must have gotten something wrong in the initramfs. What I did was the following to get usplash nicely shown from right after grub menu exits: 1) sudo gedit /etc/usplash.conf to read: # Usplash configuration file xres=1024 yres=768 2) sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst and change the default line # defoptions=splash quiet to read # defoptions=splash vga=791 (or leave 'quiet' if you wish) 3) sudo update-grub 4) sudo update-usplash-theme usplash-theme-ubuntu
I first left out steps 2 & 3 and didn't have usplash right after grub passed control but rather had for a couple of seconds some "scrolling text" (as it's normal if you change to tty1 at boot with Ctrl+F1) until the font changes to a more contrast shape. There seam to be many people having trouble with this very issue on Gutsy (google on "update-usplash gutsy").
