Comment 51 for bug 431812

I have tried multiple times changing the kernel line to end with i915.modeset=0 and nomodeset, however nothing works.I just get a blinking cursor on a black screen as mentioned in my post above.
I am logged in via my jaunty live-cd. Are there any changes I can do to make the system bootable again from my hdd.
Should I edit any entries in fstab to prevent the fsck? Or is there any other boot options which I can add at the end of the kernel line to get things going.
Any advice would be great.
Thanks.
