just to confirm that I also experienced this with the Beta release. Adding vga=792 to the appropriate pleces in /boot/grub/menu.lst did the trick for me.
My laptop is an AMD64 with a nvidia GeForce Go 6100 but I am running 32 bit Feisty, so maybe this isnt the right bug to comment on. The 32 bit live CD would hang for me if I just let it load with defaults, but if I specified a resolution using F4 it would load. -- Feisty crashes after grub if usplash enabled (amd64) https://launchpad.net/bugs/86666 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
