    Try to hand the kernel the option vga=normal, or you could actually
    try to specify it outright. On one of my machines that has an 18" Philips
    LCD monitor I get a blank screen upon booting in the default settings and
    had to put vga=0x318 into the boot loader setup to see anything before it
    switches X on.

    Good luck, Alex.
