Thank you Felix and Patrick and Carlos for your help
But it's as i suspected - therefore i gave the detailed data of my PC - and the PCs Graphic card is too old.
i tried his thing with 'e' in the boot select menue and altered the boot parameters in several ways without success
in all cases when boot ended ok (protocol on ctrl-alt-f7): black display but on ctrl+alt+f1 there are messages: ... radeon 000:01:00.0: ring 0 stalled for more than >10 sec continuously. (this i didn't mention before i my question to this list)
I can login as root on ctrl+alt+f1 and do as you proposed: journalctl -b > somefile.txt and cannot find an error there.
So i will stay with 13.2 on my server PC, and replace it later on with new hardware.
I solved black screen and lockup problem with my Radeon 9000 via a BIOS reconfiguration, raising AGP Aperture from 32 to 64 (128 also works). I hadn't had the card in that machine long, recently replacing a Matrox 550, which has no Linux KMS driver support. Maybe a BIOS change will help you? Maybe yours somehow became corrupted and could stand a reset or even CMOS clearing? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
