If, for instance, you have an nVidia video card and it wasn't properly 
upgraded to the newer kernel, it might be attempting to load nouveau, 
which on my setup is a complete fail with three monitors and two video 
cards. I'd rather see fall-back revert to svga myself.

Maybe jam the install CD in there and refresh grub?? Trouble shooting 
with a shotgun. Ric
