I had a similar problem with a ASUS laptop with the Gutsy kernel (worked
ok with the Fiesty kernel) With the black screen I was able to get into
the box with ssh from an other box. Then I could look at the Xorg.0.log
file and found the problem in my case. To get the Gutsy kernel to boot I
had to use acpi=off in the boot line. Then I got the black screen. By
adding pci=biosirq to the boot line I could get the screen up.

Hope this helps
BTW, I'm back to using the Fiesty kernel, works much better for me.
