Same problem here:

FWIW, I just had the same problem in Debian Squeeze with fglrx.
Turns out that the “sleep 1” was a good idea – in Debian, I just
installed file-rc to revert to “legacy” (as opposed to parallel) boot
ordering, which fixed the problem there.
No idea about what init system *buntu uses these days,
Same black screen (with cursor) with Ubuntu 10.10 and Intel drivers.
Note, I didn't have this on 32bit, this is on amd64.
This is with a vanilla install and haven't been able to reproduce it. It
happens say 30% of the times.
** Attachment added: Xorg.1.log
These issues went completely away for me after I upgraded to Kubuntu
10.10.

@David:
Read my comment #49. And also the linked Freedesktop bug.
http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29975
I read the relevant Xorg-server code and the same bug is still there and
not fixed. There may be various possible reasons why VT_ACTIVATE
succeeds but VT_WAITACTIVE will wait
In reply to #32: I don't think this is exactly the same as the RedHat
bug report by Linus Torvalds, which was about the rhgb-client program
specifically. The symptom (VT_WAITACTIVE failing) was the same, and the
investigations might help with the bug here, but it's not the same bug

I have just installed the new linux-image-2.6.32-25 from Ubuntu repositories,
and faced this problem too.
The booting stops just before KDM screen should appear after the KUbuntu logo
Xorg.0.log contained the same lines:
Fatal server error:
xf86OpenConsole: VT_WAITACTIVE failed: Interrupted
I've done a few extra reboots after this, KDM is now always starting.
However, the KUbuntu logo with five dots, which is shown before that,
was corrupted on each boot. The colors were quite strange in some
regions and the letters KUbuntu are surrounded by many dense green
dots. Not sure whether it
I have this problem today the first time.
It is an Samsung notebook with NVidia chip.

version) from a USB-Stick (with PAE-Kernel).
The second boot works perfect. No Strg-Alt-Fx work but the Power Button.

There is analogous bug with intel videocards also.

I hoped that it will be fixed in Maverick - nope, this bug is still in
the Maverick also! I would say that now it is even more frequent than in
was in Lucid.

Using kdm, nvidia driver, Kubuntu 10.04. Same bug, started appearing
with the 2.6.32-24-generic kernel.
I believe Linus Torvalds himself reports this bug back in 2007
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=323501
It's some race condition that is an artifact of porting X to Linux ages
ago.
I have had a similar behavior here. I am using the nvidia driver.
I don't really like any of the suggested workarounds here. They are all
hacks that don't really fix the bug itself.
This is the relevant code:
if (ioctl(xf86Info.consoleFd, VT_ACTIVATE, xf86Info.vtno) 0)
If I am right with my explanation, the title of this report should be
changed.

The suggested solution (adding sleep 1 command to /etc/init.d/gdm.conf)
solves this bug for me.
For me the bug was introducted with kernel 2.6.35.3. It prevented GDM
