There are a couple fixes which work for some people. See my post "Workarounds" in "Installation & Upgrades" in ubuntuforums.org. The first one to try is when you boot the CD Live disk and get boot options, push F6 At the end of the line after quiet splash, add: break=top which should look like: .........quiet splash break=top What is supposed to happen is that the boot will stop with a command line before getting the "can't access tty". Then enter modprobe piix presuming that works, then enter exit
I have no idea what this actually does, except some people report that it works. BTW, Gutsy Alpha 7.10 also gets "can't access tty" on one of our computers, and the modprobe fix doesn't work for 7.10.
