Enable nomodeset and noapic parameters. Additionally, you can also try noalpic and acpi=off but nomodeset generally works

enabling boot parameters

  • When you see the grub screen press 'e' to edit boot parameters. On a line, you'll see quiet splash $vt_handoff. Next to it, add noapic nomodeset and press Ctrl + X to boot – pratnala Oct 29 '12 at 02:32
