[Bug 926325] [NEW] Ubuntu fails to show splash screen after upgrade to 3.0.0-15

Public bug reported:

After running some upgrades under Ubuntu 11.10, my Asus UL20FT laptop
would not boot.  It's a dual-boot setup, so the Grub sreen appeared
automatically, but after selecting linux 3.0.0-15, it diplayed only a
dark screen.  I'm reporting this as a plymouth bug in accordance with
the instructions here (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage),
since I was able to boot in recovery mode

Strategies tried:
- Robooting with recovery mode, machine booted with some issues like low screen resolution
- Rebooting and selecting version 3.0.0-14 from previous versions, machine booted and worked properly
- Re-installed linux 3.0.0-15 packages, machine still would not boot 3.0.0-15
- Removed 3.0.0-15 packages with synaptic, now machine boots 3.0.0-14 by default and works properly

I notice that 3.0.0-15 is no longer showing up as an update for me.  I'm
aware of a similar thread here
(http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11629620), although that
person had some success by re-installing the package.
