Public bug reported:
I have tried the LiveCD for both Kubuntu and Ubuntu. Upon selecting the
run without installing option, the installer goes through all steps, and
properly displays, until some point. That point seems to be around
where kdm, or gdm, is started. The screen blanks, a flashing cursor
appears in the upper left - briefly. Then the screen goes completely
blank, the CD drive settles and stops. No keys or key combinations
produce any response. The power button, when pressed for several
seconds does turn the machine off.
I have burned several CDs of both Kubuntu and Ubuntu. I have at times
selected F4 - safe video mode, and F6 acpi=off, noapic, removed quiet,
and removed splash. Aside from the specific expected display responses
early in the boot process, all result in the same condition.
Since the boot process never completes, there are logs that I can
retrieve.
I have not tried to install to my hard drive, as I have no extra drive
and I do have a very stable and useful Kubuntu 8.04 currently on my hard
drive.
I have attached the only other thing I can think of, and that is a text
file containing the output of "lshw" to show my hardware platform. My
guess is that Alpha 6 does not recognize my laptop's Savage video.
