I have problems reliably booting Intrepid my Lenovo ThinkPad X61s too. After the messages from Grub has been printed (Starting up... \ Loading, please wait...) it will usually end up in a state where the blinking cursor is shown in the top-left corner of the screen. However, sometimes the screen is completely blank (but still lit), some other times I've seen some blue patterns along the upper edge of the screen (pic attached), sometimes most of the screen is flashing red (vid attached).
If I remove «splash» from the kernel command line it will boot correctly, although there's some error messages relating to uvesafb printed before I'm asked for my passphrashe. I've attached a pic. With the usplash included on the Kubuntu Intrepid alpha-2 CD it would usually work fine (however there was some cosmetic corruption with the progress bar showing up in other parts of the screen), although I ran into the above problems (except maybe the blue patterns, not sure) from time to time. Another boot would normally correct it. However, after doing a dist-upgrade it _always_ fails.
