I have a similar issue. I have a Compaq Presario F730 running with Athlon X2 64-bit with nVidia 6100 graphics, those that need the restricted drivers to run compiz fusion and stuff. When i installed a fresh copy of Ubuntu Hardy (64 bit version) the boot and shutdown usplash were fine. I remember that when i installed restricted drivers for nVidia cards, the "newer", the boot splash was fine, but the shutdown were missing. Instead of it, i got horizontal random lines changing fast, it freaked me out because i thought there was something really wrong with the shutdown. But the machine turned off as expected and i kept cool. The thing is that it is sort of disturbing having all that lines changing fast and randomly. I also changed the boot splash to none, and enabled the verbose mode for booting. It works for booting, like debian etch, but still can't see the text in shuting down... so i think that is some trouble with nNidia drivers and i don't know how much can be done since the drivers are restricted.
