It sounds like you have one of the ATI chips which won't even work in 
text mode without firmware.  Did you ever check your /boot/grub/menu.lst 
for nokmsboot ?  If not, try adding it in safe mode, and then:
            cd /boot/grub
           ./install.sh
and try a default boot again.  If it still doesn't work, you've got an 
ATI chip that requires KMS and the firmware, and you'll have to boot to 
safe mode, remove nokmsboot, rerun ./install.sh, add the nonfree 
repositories, and install the kernel-firmware-nonfree package.

Worth a try.
