Go into 2.6.32-31 Generic Recovery Mode. Once that has started go to FailsafeX then Low Graphics. If the problem is what I think it is you will now start ok.
it would help alot as we could probably be able to find out the exact code to put in the kernel line. Mine is "i915.modeset=1" but unless you have the same intel family it may not be the same as mine.

@EDDY1. I think although, I may be wrong, the OP has just made a mistake while typing the kernel listing up. If it has been altered he will still need to go in and fix GRUB in Recovery mode anyway but I have been through this (I was the 1st person to list the bug in Launchpad when it originally occurred) and I have a gut feeling it's the same thing.
