Bug Description

I have Ubuntu Gutsy on one of my drives, and Ubuntu Hardy on another. Hardy Heron was actually a fresh install today on my extra 40GB drive.

During boot and shut down on both Hardy and Gutsy, there is no usplash, just a blank black screen. GDM will start after the computer finishes loading, it just doesn't show you what the progress of boot up is, just a black screen.

I have an AMD64 PC with the AMD64 versions of Ubuntu on both drives. I am using an nVidia Geforce 8600GT video card, which is PCI, with the "nvidia" driver.

I experience the same issue with the AMD64 versions, both installed and LiveCD, however, when I use the I386 LiveCD version of 7.10, the splash is shown, but the screen is misaligned once GDM starts. Perhaps it is related to whether the Nvidia driver is installed?
