If this is the case, using a lowres vga mode should solve the
problem. It must be possible to pass "vga=ask" to the kernel line, and
get a list of vga mode available. Just select a standard 80x25

However, it seems that the boot stops when the kernel tries to
decompress the initrd, so technically speaking the screen is not blank
(the user reported that he could see something before the boot
stopped), so I would probably prefer to think that it's an issue with
initrd...
