I had all sorts of similar problems installing Vista RTM, including the
error-message-less blank screen after a couple boots.
In my particular case, I had to remove and re-create my system partition in
order to resolve the blank screen problem. Vista would actually install fine
to the partition that was there, but on reboot just go to a blank screen with
cursor. No error message.
Once I re-ran setup, deleted the partition, and re-created it, all was well.
(Of course, I had several critical issues before and after that, I think all
related to SATA and Vista not playing very nicely.)
