ESXi 4.0 server boots to black screen

I have ESXi installed on a IBM Blade HS22 (Type 7870). It was working fine, but when I restarted it today, after post test it begins to load the ESXI then stops on a completely black screen. The cursor is at the top of the screen, about 20 characters to the right of the left side.

I have tried do the Repair from the ESXi 4.0.0 Installation screen several times, but has not seemed to fix the issue. Is there anything else I can try, or do I need to do a clean install and lose the VM's I have on the machine's datastore?
