You can try the following via the command line:

sudo nano /etc/usplash.config

make it look like

# Usplash configuration file
xres=1024
yres=768

save and close, then type

sudo update-initramfs -u

reboot and see if that fixes it.

Changed in usplash:
importance: Undecided → Low
status: Unconfirmed → Needs Info
