Ubuntu 10.04 Boot Splash

When booting or resuming a hibernated session in Ubuntu 10.04, my screen is blank with the exception of a couple lines of text:
Boot from (hd0,2)[…]
Starting up...

I was looking to get a graphical screen back that I had in Ubuntu 9.10.

I found some tips at Ubuntu Geek.

For me the relevant stuff was this:
sudo -s
echo FRAMEBUFFER=y >>/etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/splash
update-initramfs -u
