Unfortunately, the latest intel drivers don't do modesetting by default.
It's actually hard to enable modesetting for testing purposes too,
because we don't write the pciids the card supports into the driver (for
mkinitrd to find it).
Dave Airlie is going to fix that at some point, but right now intel
users are stuck with a text splash.
To get to grub, hold down any key during boot up (say shift or ctrl).
