There has been some change in behaviour for me in Kubuntu alpha-3, now
the splash screen always fails to appear, and during boot I see only the
blinking "_" in the upper-left corner of the screen.  When booting the
LiveCD it stays there for a while until normal bootup messages appears
(starting with «Setting preliminary keymap» or something like that).
When booting an installed system it just stops there.  I assume this is
due to the bootup process stopping to ask me for my LUKS passphrase, but
since usplash doesn't work I don't get the prompt either, so I'm stuck.

As with alpha-2 it boots up fine once I remove "splash" from the command
line.

Status in “usplash” source package in Ubuntu: Confirmed
Status in usplash in Ubuntu Intrepid: Confirmed

Bug description:
Binary package hint: usplash

Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex Alpha 1 on the Asus EeePC 701 with integrated Intel GMA 900.

On shutdown, the screen flashes with corrupted graphics, before flashing red. Finally, the Ubuntu shutdown progress bar appears before the machine turns off.
(see attached video (H.264)).

This is not 100% reproducible, but happens on the majority of shutdowns.

On startup, the progess indicator becomes corrupted (see attached video (H.264)).
