same issue here, how ever after about the third reboot, I do get a message pop up about "running in low graphics mode" and click on "ok" (i think) another screen comes up with a couple of different selections -run in low graphics mode this one time -start troubleshooting... and some others. upon selecting run in low graphics mode the system goes to a terminal login screen. after logging in, I type "startx" and all things are normal. Dell Latitude CPX-j with ATI Rage Mobility graphics. if you need a log to review, please let me know which one. I do have a Xorg.O.log but it is something like 30k.
here is part of it relating to the graphics driver.
