Same problem here.
Kernel 2.6.31-19
Intel i915 onboard video card.

I can only boot with setting
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="nomodeset"
and
GRUB_TERMINAL=console
in /etc/default/grub
then
sudo update-grub
and reboot

If I set GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480 and GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD=keep, I can see BRUB and my monitro tells that it is 640x480, but after the GRUB - nothing. And this "nothing" differs depending on grub settings. It may leave GRUB menu on screen, while boot normally (I can connect to the station via SSH) or it may start booting normally in 640x480, but then, right after "Loading keymap and console fonts" the screen goes off.

I took me 3 days to determine that nomodeset solves (partially) my problem. Since this is just a silent file serever, I'm OK with the text console. But I would be happy to have full functionality on it.
