I'm wondering if it's simply at that point that RHGB kicks in, and tries
to display in a mode that your monitor doesn't support, so it blanks
out.  Once booting had finished, you could try using CTRL ALT and the +
or - keys on the number pad to change resolutions (something I can't do,
as my laptop doesn't have a numberpad).

Removing rhgb from the kernel line in the grub.conf file would show
whether this was the case.
