I am having a similar problem to this--take a look at
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usplash/+bug/235662

In my case, the corruption is the minor problem--there "seems" to be a
conflict between bios & Usplash--I sometimes get solid warnings from my
pc speaker that last as long as I care to hear it :(

This has been as long as I have been testing Ibex (day 1) & thru several
fresh installs. In the hopes that it is a motherboard issue, I am
upgrading tomorrow. Will see if this all stops with a different board--
if so, I will recommend that a note is posted about the board I am
currently using--Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L

Usplash Screen Corruption causes a flashing red screen.


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.

See also bug 245849, about scraps of the progress bar being repeated on the startup screen.
