this issue depends on your hardware
usually xvesa will be ok, for newer hardware. try a basic config like
800*600 or 1024*800 with 16 millions colors and 2 button mouse.
else try framebuffer or lower resolutions.
there's plenty of info on this matter in this forums. tens of threads.
use the search field to browse them.
good luck

Don't be embarrased, actually this is about as stupid as it gets and why plenty of people leave linux... you boot up and there is a command boot: ???? Of course there is no prompt or documentation... duh, what the hell is  next? :angry:
