What parameters are being passed to the new kernel via Grub? I had the same issue (don't remember, but I think it was with one of the rc build of 2.6.34) and it could drill it down to a 'vga' parameter on the Grub command line. I removed everything (including any standard 'quiet' parameter which Ubuntu distro kernel has) and managed to boot with some vga value I can't recall (will search and post in case I can find it).
menuentry 'Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.37-rc7+' --class ubuntu --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os { recordfail insmod part_msdos insmod ext2 set root='(hd0,msdos1)' search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 9f59ebbf-6aab-4581-8234-81a092728571 linux /vmlinuz-2.6.37-rc7+ root=/dev/mapper/lynx-root ro quiet splash initrd /initrd.img-2.6.37-rc7+ }
the grub entry for the working 2.6.37-rc5+ kernel is identical other than the kernel version references, of course.
Can you please boot this kernel once again by modifying the command line at GRUB prompt and removing 'quiet', 'splash' keywords? I don't have a reason as to why this may work, just that in my case I removed them and I could see the bootup including the error dump (oops), if there was any.
