I've had this over the past couple of versions due to usplash trying to use a resolution which the monitor didn't support. I altered my /etc/usplash.conf to the following: # Usplash configuration file xres=640 yres=480 Then I ran sudo dpkg-reconfigure usplash from a terminal and it worked fine at the next reboot. I dare say you could tweak the xres and yres to something a bit higher such as 1024x768? I found with my monitor (Acer AL1714 17" TFT) with a native resolution of 1280x1024 @ 60Hz it didn't like being set to 1280x1024. I presume that it just ran at a refresh rate too high or something.
