The kernel line shouldn't have the "# Itan quiet splash" at the end.
This is how it should be:

kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-generic root=UUID=d8190421-05fc-4644-ad51-3164c4a8ab33 ro vga=normal

Furthermore there is a line

# defoptions=quiet splash

that should be replaced with this line:

# defoptions=vga=normal

If you don't modify this line also, the next kernel update would undo
your modification.
