In /boot/grub/menu.lst remove 'quiet' and 'splash'. My line ends
with: "ro vga=791" (in order to make the scroll-by slower).

I trust that's just a translation of a german option (I have no idea if
options are internationalized) but the correct option is "quiet". Since
ubuntu uses the (long available on Debian) splash option, you probably want
to turn that off too.
