Timo, I see you have an ATI video board, but I do not see any references to a framebuffer device, nor to extended VGA settings -- in fact, your VGA is set to 80x25.
Can you try with a lower usplash setting (xres=640, yres=480) and see if it works? -- Feisty crashes after grub if usplash enabled (amd64) https://launchpad.net/bugs/86666 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
