insmod error, no splash screen

Sorry for so many problems, I try to google before I post.

I heard people saying that Ubuntu has a spash image that replaces all the text during boot. I've installed Ubuntu several times on this laptop, and NEVER have I gotten a splash screen during boot. I checked, usplash is installed.

Also, I get a error at boot (the very first message I see) that reads:

insmod: can't load /lib/modules/2.6.12-10-386/initrd/vesafb.ko No such file or Directory
This file IS in this directory, however...

Is this what's keeping my splash screen from starting. I also have a widescreen laptop, and have to use the vga=771 option when I install. Any ideas?

You might have a bad ISO. You might want to re-burn it.

No such luck

I've had this problem with the Ubuntu CD that they shipped to me, the ubuntu install cd downloaded from the web, and (currently) the kubuntu install cd downloaded from the web...
