My problem turned out to be with the nvidia drivers in Edgy, when I upgraded to the beta nvidia drivers it works now.
As for the reported of this bug, I think the file located at /var/log/Xorg.0.log probably contains the most relevant info perhaps. Also, there are a number of bugs out there already about the usplash with edgy, so this could be a duplicate of those (although it affects you differently). -- Edgy crashes while booting if TV out connected https://launchpad.net/bugs/67636 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
