You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala

Right after GRUB (during splash), and in Xorg (GDM) as well. When the
system needs to set the screen mode, the screen goes to black, loads a
bit more, and then the computer stops responding.

Hardware:
Mobile Intel® HM55 Express Chipset

This is NOT an Ubuntu specific issue, since it also happens in other
live CDs, such as Gparted.

The system had to be installed using an alternate installer.

GRUB solution: adding nomodeset solves the post-GRUB black screen, and
allows entering the command line in safe mode. The i915.modeset=0 option
made no difference.
