Just updated, can't get into X or console [Solved]

Question

So yeah, as the title says.
Can't remember exactly what was updated but there was definitely a kernel update in there. The system boots fine until it goes to start X, then i just get a blank screen. No keyboard working, so i can't get into a console.
Any ideas? Live cd maybe?

Answer 1

Ok i think i found the problem...But i dunno why all of a sudden my ATi card wouldn't be picked up, unless it has to do with the new method of blacklisting?
