Public bug reported: Can not boot up with the latest Ubuntu Oneiric Ocelot without setting nomodeset. I tried this on both Kubuntu as well as on Ubuntu. Previous releases are also affected.
After installation and running updates I get presented with the icon to install proprietary drivers after which I can boot up normally.
