Try this:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto
[6. Configure GRUB: A MUST FOR Dapper Drake (6.06)]

Try 785 thru 794 - 788 worked for me. Be sure to follow the instructions:

   1. Automatic (and update-proof) GRUB Configuration

Find the line

# defoptions=quiet splash

and add your framebuffer resolution code, e.g. (for 1024x768)

# defoptions=quiet splash vga=791

(Don't "uncomment" the line - it only works when it is "commented".)

Save the file, then execute

sudo update-grub

Note the last on that page:

"If your bootup is now black, try setting vga=788, not vga=785, some
video cards may not do 640x480."

I also removed vga= from the kernel line and only have it in the '#
defoptions' per the above.
