Public bug reported:
I'm trying to boot the Intrepid Ibex Alpha 6 Live CD from USB on my HP
2133 Mininote Laptop. (The 2133 is running Hardy almost flawlessly right
now). I select 'try live cd' boot option and then the grub splash screen
works fine. I get the normal ubuntu progress bar. The progress bar runs
to completion and then the screen blanks as the X server starts.
I then get the normal X windows 'busy' cursor used with Ubuntu. (Round
white circle with black dots around the edge). However, the cursor is
off center and corrupted a bit. But, most importantly, the laptop is
completely frozen.
I tried booting with 'xforcevesa' with no success. I also hit 'esc' in
Grub and then 'f4' to select the 'safe graphics mode' option and that
also failed.
I'd be happy to try any experiments that you recommend to trouble-shoot
this. For example, are there other Linux boot options (such as 'video'
or 'vga') that would dumb-down the live CD X installer enough to get a
handle on what's going wrong?
