I also have this problem. The interesting thing is that starting lightdm
again seems to work.

What I did:
<Ctrl>+<Alt>+<F1>
login using username and password
sudo start lightdm && logout

This would bring up lightdm just like it should. I have no idea why it
would specifically during boot.

Title:
  Oneiric won't start x on boot up

Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Upgrade to 11.10 Alphafrom 11.04. On reboot hung at "Checking Battery State". It looked as though x was trying to start but not succeeding.
  Rebooted using Recovery mode. Found the Low Graphics option was not there.
  Ran Broken Packages option which replaced a lot of stuff, then Continue Normal Boot.
  Was dropped to command prompt to login. After logging in tried "startx". Looked as though x was starting then stopped at screen with error message box "Failed to load session "Gnome" and a logout button which dropped me back to command prompt.
  AMD64, X6 CPU, Radeon HD3870
