I would suggest trying a console-only boot, just to see if video might be the problem. Use the procedure Robin mentioned, and add following options to the parameter line before proceeding with boot: (some are redundant, as i don't remember which deb likes) acpi=off nolapic fb=off nofb vga=normal (and maybe 1 more) if you want more technical information about what's happening during the boot - append this in addition: debug if you can't boot in console only mode - then something is really wrong. if the problem is video - that can be resolved.
