If you dist-upgrade from ubuntu 5.04 (Hoary) rather than installing 5.10, you might not get the new graphical splash screen during boot. This can be caused by the order that packages are upgraded - the 'usplash' package is needed before installing and setting up the linux kernel image. Ubuntu's kernel uses an 'initrd' image, and this needs to be recreated *after* usplash is installed. Anyway, the following command will do what you need:
<verbatim>
dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-2.6.12-9-386
</verbatim>
+an AMD64 setup would probably look something like:
+<verbatim>
+dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-2.6.12-9-amd64-generic
+</verbatim>
+
That recreates the <tt>/boot/initrd.img-...</tt> file to use the splash image.
