Usplash sometimes caused a black screen

My Ubuntu is 8.04.1 box with kernel 2.6.24-19-lpia.
After Usplash screen sometimes I got a black screen and I can not do anything but poweroff..
This happened in MP units with Intel Poulsbo platform but not found in PVT units..it's strange!
The fail rate in production line is around 50%.

I delete the kernel parameter "splash" and everything goes fine.
End user will see the very ugly verbose text and maybe they will feel nervious with it.
But anyway, they can use this box....

I think this bug also related to Poulsbo gfx driver in Linux and X.
I have tried a patch on launchpad but doesn't worked for me.
