Bunsen Labs Will Not Boot

Hi.
I've been trying to install BunsenLabs on my computer, but I can't get it to boot.
It goes through the setup perfectly fine and everything.
However, whenever I try to start it up after installing, it simply will not start.
It doesn't even print out an error message, just a blinking underscore with black screen.
As seen here, here is the output of:

user@debian:~$ sudo parted -l
Model: ATA WDC WD1600BEVT-2 (scsi)
Disk /dev/sda: 160GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: msdos
Disk Flags:
 
Number  Start   End    Size    Type      File system     Flags
 1      1049kB  159GB  159GB   primary   ext4
 2      159GB   160GB  1061MB  extended
 5      159GB   160GB  1061MB  logical   linux-swap(v1)
 
 
Warning: The driver descriptor says the physical block size is 2048 bytes, but
Linux says it is 512 bytes.

I ve installed crunchbangplusplus on the same pc, and it worked perfectly.. but now i want to try BunsenLabs.. What can i do?

just a blinking underscore with black screen.

Google that and you will find lots of hits! Almost certainly your problem is due to graphics (probably Nvidia).

Search the forums for how to set a kernel boot parameter for "nomodeset" - here is one thread which might help: https://forums.bunsenlabs.org/viewtopic.php?id=5591

Where did you choose to install grub, during the installation process? It probably should have been /dev/sda (NB not /dev/sda1 for example)
