Boot to single user mode by editng the kernel line at the grub prompt.
I don't remember exactly what it takes but I'd try disabling the gui
stuff
first on the current boot line press` e' (edit mode), then
remove splash line
foreground line
background line
(by pressing d when in edit mode)
On the kernel line (press `e' again if necessary.
remove or comment `console=graphics' (note the comma can stay)
add `-s' press enter then `b' to boot into single user mode.
NOTE: None of these changes are permanent. Next bootup the grub
prompt will be as it was.
If you are able to boot that way... at least you'll be able to view
logs.
