Under boot I often get's this screen (see attachment) instead of the ubuntu boot splash.

It's Lucid running on a Lenovo T410i laptop, with nvidia graphics adaptor.

Where to start debugging? ;)

Wow that looks pretty strange. Does the system still boot though?

Try modifying the GRUB_GFXMODE entry in /etc/default/grub with an appropriate resolution for your computer.

Then;

$ sudo update-gruband reboot

If that doesn't work you could also try changing:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
for

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash vga=792"
