Unusual setup, with very similar bug
I have two video cards, each with a monitor connected.
I see BIOS, and Ubuntu LiveDVD boot menu on monitor #1
When I select install/start, I see the splash screen on monitor #1, then
blinking cursor, then nothing.I then switched on monitor #2 and there was
Christian, excellent. I am not sure if that drm warning is serious or

Variation of issue:
I get to the point of loading X server and that fails. Getting message
Failed to start the X server and asks if I want to view the X server
output to diagnose the problem with a 'YES', 'NO' tab selectable option.
If I Select YES, here is the information that I get:
X Window
1) Boot to 6.10 LiveCD.
2) Chose Install Ubuntu
3) Splash screen with Knight Rider style status bar
4) After a while, the status bar begins from the left and reaches the end on
the right.
5) Screen blanks, then a garbled X did not start message.
6) Alt-F1-etc works, machine is pingable.

Please note this bug is specific to the Live CD. It appears some people

I have the exact problem which is described in the first post. I'm trying to
boot the i386 desktop live cd. It doen't matter whether I am choose the
ordinary or the safe graphics option the result is the same. About 90% through
the splash screen it stalls with an irretating image if the
I updated the description - I think the reporter has made it clear that
this bug happens with or without usplash. There are other bugs around
for usplash trouble. Can somebody confirm that the computer is totally

network, disk
