I can see nothing!

I know this doesn't help but maybe it'll give you direction. This
happened to me ages ago and it was simply a problem of the kernel
using framebuffer. The way to prevent this is to mess with grub and
pass an option into the kernel, but I don't remember what it is at the
moment. Perhaps this will point you in the right direction?

If I get some time I'll try to look around the net for the option.
