Hello.
Putting the problem that way, is hard to say.

Does your system boot (and goes to X), if you, in the kernel line remove 
the rhgb parameter?
did you install any driver for your graphics card ??

i had the same problem a days before: installed latest drivers for 
NVIDIA, and disabled on-board sound-card . my motherboard is MSI with 
NFORCE2 chipset.

dont know why, but if on-board sound disabled, X dindt start !!! Odd .....
anything to do with NVIDIA driver ???? perhaps !!!

just try to be more specific !!!

Cheers
