If it was an issue with the kernel and video card then I'd expect it to occur on other distros that I've looked at recently - Mint, Antix, Zenwalk, Fedora, Arios. None of them had booting issues, although I believe Mint now goes deliberately to a blank screen during initial boot due to card conflicts.

However, the link to the Ubuntu post does seem quite relevant. Let's see what happens when I have a go with your nomodeset suggestion when I get home tonight.
