intel gpu with Ubuntu 11.10 black screen at boot

What video chip do you use?
Does the system have a make and model?

Graphics
Display resolution
1024 x 600
Graphics
Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 3150 (up to 256 MB)

That's from a review, I'm pretty sure it's what I have.

It's a crappy netbook, HP mini 210 (I think).

Try the boot option:

nomodeset

Not sure what you mean.
The options available are:
Ubuntu, with Linux 3.0.0-12-generic
Ubuntu, with Linux 3.0.0-12-generic (recovery mode)
Memory test (memtest86+)
Memory test (memtest86+, serial console 115200)

press E to (e)dit the boot, remove 'quiet spash' and add 'nomodeset' then press ENTER to boot

Followed your instructions but still says the same message and sorry if I need clarification.
