Managed to get the Lucid CD to boot by hitting escape and then "Try Ubuntu" from the menu. Perhaps my bug report can be more helpful now that Im sending it from Lucid.
I noticed that when the list of services starts to get listed, the first service is named Sense or similar. The progress stayed there for more than a few minutes until it moved on and showed the Gnome desktop. Im checking the /var/log/syslog now and I have lots of these things: May 1 10:19:05 ubuntu kernel: [ 10.478447] sr 1:0:0:0: [sr0] Unhandled sense code May 1 10:19:05 ubuntu kernel: [ 10.478449] sr 1:0:0:0: [sr0] Result: hostbyte=DID_OK driverbyte=DRIVER_SENSE May 1 10:19:05 ubuntu kernel: [ 10.478451] sr 1:0:0:0: [sr0] Sense Key : Medium Error [current] May 1 10:19:05 ubuntu kernel: [ 10.478454] sr 1:0:0:0: [sr0] Add.

Hope it helps. Otherwise maybe some of my automatically generated info can help. ** Attachment added: "syslog" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/46923253/syslog -- getpwuid_r(): failed du to unknown user id (0) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/572279 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
