11.10 hangs on boot after update

[Innova]

I recently did a clean install of 11.10 on my Asus laptop. I got it all all my software installed and the catalyst drivers. I then did an update (there were about 260 packages that needed updating from the original install). After rebooting it hangs on the purple screen just saying ubuntu with the 5 red dots below).

I have tried ctrl-alt-f1, and it does nothing. I also tried to hit esc during the boot to turn of the splash and quiet, but the purple screen comes up right after my bios.

How do I figure out what is going on?

I was able to get in the grub menu by hammering on esc. Not sure what do do now though. I kind of assumed in was something with my video drivers, but the Xorg.0.log looks "normal".

Finally got it figured out, it was the video drivers.

I booted into text mode (removed "quiet" and "splash" from grub line, added "text"). When I did this I was able to see the last boot message as checking battery status. Did some searching and found out that is most likely a X/Video driver problem.

I then followed the instructs for reinstalling my ATI catalyst drivers:
