Gutsy boot problem

[pkaplan1 at comcast.net]

It freezes as soon as the Grub screen (the one with the various boot options) is cleared.  In previous versions, the system will either present a Kubuntu boot animation or start scrolling a series of boot messages before finally starting X and a display manager.  It seems that the screen is backlit rather than being totally blank, but nevertheless the system is frozen.

If it is a module problem, how can I figure out which one and then how can I either modify or prevent it from loading?
