So, what to do? 

Kernel didn't load. 
It could be that computer is sitting with oops message waiting for reset, 
or waiting on root password, or running something to keep CPU warm, or all 
fine except network module. 

GRUB prompt can be accessed from serial line, but that requires another 
computer that has network access.

I guess that Brian described what he is using for remote servers to prevent 
problems like your's.
