Did you try keying in Ctrl-Alt-F2 after seeing nothing more?

What did you mean when you wrote "recover mode"? Was that a Grub menu choice?
Were there any other menu choices available, such as prior kernel? You could try
appending to the main grub selection "plymouth.enable=0', and/or removing any
cmdline options mentioning modeset, quiet, splash, gfxmode, vga and/or video.
