(Get the code!)
My Karmic Ubuntu 64-bit system seems to be affected by this one too.
For me this happens on every boot. It started on 22 September after the updates.
Before that I could always enter xsplash.
Now my Karmic never enters xsplash. Instead after the grub I always get usplash, with a new look as from today.
I do not have cryptsetup installed. I have tested this with Karmics nv-driver and also with NVidias 185 and 190 drivers.
My videocard is GTX285.
Now, after usplash the screen stays black. If I hit any key, I can then see tty1 and login the prompt.
From there I can get to xsplash (and gdm and x) by logging in and typing "sudo restart gdm"
or by changing to tty7 (ctrl+alt+F7), when the xsplash and gdm and finally x start automatically.
But yes something goes wrong when booting and the system is set to tty1.
