I am going to mark this as solved as removing nomodeset from the kernel
parameters causes it to boot properly.
However, how did nomodeset get into the kernel parameters in the first
place ?

I found this in dmesg:

[ 0.207360] You have booted with nomodeset. This means your GPU drivers
are DISABLED
[ 0.207361] Any video related functionality will be severely degraded,
and you may not even be able to suspend the system properly
[ 0.207361] Unless you actually understand what nomodeset does, you
should reboot without enabling it
So I booted to the grub menu and then pressed e to edit. I removed
nomodeset from the kernel parameters. And it booted to the kdm login.
How do I make this permanent ?
