It looks like you don't have libsplashy and initramfs-tools installed. Is this right? /etc/init.d/splashy is supposed to turn off the cursor and turn it back on before X starts. Something is out of order in your system, or the script is doing some form of a race condition. Can you verify that you have the right /etc/init.d/splashy script?
