Have you recently downloaded any new jailbroken apps or tweaks? If you did, one or more of them may be incompatible with the iPad. You could try deleting any recently added tweaks or apps until you are able to get your iPad working again. Once you've determined which tweak or app caused the problem, delete it.
After I checked the website again (greenpois0n), the latest version is 2.0.4. Just a reminder... 
I'd suggest that if you are having problems with Absinthe, restore to a clean 5.1.1 and try redsn0w instead. IMHO redsn0w has been much more stable and reliable for jailbreaking the iPad2 and iPad3 on 5.1.1.
It is a simple "one click" process. Just connect the device, start redsn0w, and press "jailbreak"

The easiest method is to connect your iPad to iTunes and select the "Upgrade" button (you may have to have iTunes check for an upgrade if you've turned off the auto-check function). Once you click on "Upgrade," iTunes will do it magic and, with a few inputs from you, it will update you to the most current iOS (6.1 right now).
Oh, and I highly recommend doing a backup before you upgrade. It will make it easier to put your iPad back the way it was.

I can't update to OS6.1.1 for now, because at my school the mail, the calendar etc. doesn't sync. So for now I'm still using 5.1.1.
thank you! But is it possible with the absinthe 2.0.4?
