If you're running rsyslog, try adding this to rsyslog.conf:
# All messages on last terminal
*.* /dev/tty12
Switch to tty12 (Ctrl+Alt+F2) to see all messages.

OK. You'd not mentioned before now that you've tried getting to a Virtual
Terminal.
A system booted to a blank screen can be viewed as unresponsive. So, there's a bit
of ambiguity in what you're writing.
Maybe try removing rhgb and quiet from the boot params to see maybe see where the
hangup is.
