After freshly installing Debian 5.0 (lenny). I rebooted the system and when I selected the default GRUB entry I got a similar console output and it halted:
Booting 'Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.26-2-686'
root (hd0,0)
Filesystem is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-686 root=/dev/sda1 ro quiet
[Linux-bzImage, setup=0x3000, size=0x16c910]
Then, all you get is the blinking cursor at the next line. Just blinking indefinitely.
I tried using the rescue mode from the Debian net install disk to try and fix the GRUB installation, if in case there was any problem with it, with no luck.
