Paul's solutions worked for me as well on my old Vaio. I'm using GRUB V1, so I had to make the change to the current (first in my case) entry in /boot/grub/menu.lst, and didn't need to run 'sudo update-grub'.
I tried with 'quiet splash' in there as well, just kept the screen blank until near the end of the boot period when it went to the funky new Ubunst loading screen. Without it the booting information text is displayed.
