Same problem trying to install 12.04 x64 on the second HD of a Dell XPS

as edd=on and acpi=off
3. tried all the usb ports (all but the far right boots into a blank screen)
4.
Whoops...I meant all but the far left usb port boots into a blank

I had this issue trying to boot a Kubuntu 11.10 LiveCD on an old FlexATX

I think there is a problem with booting from USB 3.0 ports - it boots into

Same here with 32-bit on a USB stick on my Clevo laptop where I am
trying to compile and test the dreadful unsupported sis671 driver. I
could boot reliably in 64-bit and do the job, on the very same machine

This one happens with Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo XA 2528. No luck with any
version of Ubuntu (8.04, 8.10, 9.04, 10.04 or 10.10). It's also a no-go
with Fedora, Zenwalk, Debian and Mint too, so I guess it's not related
to distribution, but rather a kernel issue. I have a Nvidia nForce
