@brettalton : As setting usplash.conf to a lower res (1024x768) and running "sudo update-initramfs -u -k `uname -r`" didn't work at all for me, I tried your fix and it worked perfectly fine but not "as is". I had to set display in StartUp-Manager to 640x480 res and 8 bit colordepth (i.e the lower settings).
Now, everything is ok and startup is far much faster. So, thanks a lot.
