Looks like this issue is still being seen on natty, after just looking
at bug #731810, which I've set as a dupe of this.

It sounds like the root problem here is a bug in vesafb's memory
handling when using a PAT-enabled kernel.  There is some topical
conversation about this at
http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=148417

Presumably either booting with "nopat" or "vesafb.invalid=1" kernel
parameters in grub should work around the bug.  Disabling vesafb will
also disable the boot logo graphic, fwiw.
