Boot problem

[kyan]

How can I see what is happening during the display of the splash screen
during Ubuntu boot? The splash screen is displaying for a very long time
with no change other than the orange and white dots alternating, and then it
displays a plain black screen (with backlight). I am using Ubuntu 10.10.
 Thanks!
