You're using a server version, so you have not installed any desktop - 
gnome, kde, etc, right?
And you are not getting any prompt like
emmanuael>   or login>    ?  (is your monitor set too dark?)

Then at the linux line of grub menu, add "gfxmode=640x480" (without 
apostrophes) and try to boot up.
