Hey Richard,
I don't use Debian but I do use Ubuntu. If I had this issue, I would try
various kernel boot parameters to see if you can disable some feature
that might be causing this issue. I might also try to switch my video
driver when chroot-ed from your rescue environment to your production
environment.
From a rescue CD, you should be able to access logs from the last boot.
These should prove very useful in diagnosing your issue.
There are probably tons of other things you can do that I can't think of
at the moment. :-)

Cntrl-Alt-Backspace does nothing but I am able to boot in rescue mode. Not sure what to do from there. Any ideas would be great.
