FWIW, I had the same issues with my P5E-VM HDMI. There are quite a few issues with the Intel driver that shipped with Hardy, and blank screens and general flakiness seems to be common. Version 2.3 (which will ship with Intrepid Ibex) will hopefully behave a little better. After trying several different install methods (Hardy Server with rrambo xinit scripts, Xubuntu, etc, etc), I settled on working with a regular Ubuntu install, and then started stripping it from there, I whacked a lot of useless crap out of /etc/rc2.d including the regular GDM startup script and now boot directly in to X and XBMC, I am pretty pleased with the boot times at this point. It was the only way I could get it to reliably boot and or reboot in to XBMC every time. I should also be able to strip out some more to make it even faster.
