If you're saying that it locks up at the conclusion of the boot process, and 
just before you'd normally get the gdm login screen, then try adding 
'nomodeset' boot parameter.

Otherwise, if it locks up before the boot normally finishes, press the 
escape key as soon as you get the progress indication, and see what happens.
