This is not really a kde problem, but I'll try to give some pointers. First of all I would change the root parameter in the boot command line for the real device, for example root=/dev/sda1, most probably in your case. Change both boot lines and use the second which probably could give you more detailed information. If this fails I would try to boot a debian-installer cd and install kernel again. Maybe it's a disk driver problem, but it's strange that you don't have any text, that would point to some video misconfiguration options.
