Please make sure "nomodeset" is no more present on kernel cmdline and if it's gone post your corresponding kernel log (at least the relevant parts of it like the few first line including cmdline and anything that is related to drm, i915, *fb*, vesa or vga)! Note, with grub you should also be able to edit the kernel cmdline from grubs interface before you tell it to boot the kernel. You could even attempt to reboot with kexec (where you can choose kernel and cmdline as well) if you can't convince grub. Bruno
