Public bug reported:

The Installation DVD and also the USB Stick of Ubuntu 13.04 32bit fails
to boot on my Acer Aspire One 756. I get a blank black screen with a
blinking cursor. Holding the shift key down does not make any
difference. I don't see anything on screen between the BIOS summary
screen and the black screen. No error message, no ISOLINUX, nothing from
grub.

I created the DVD by burning the ISO image onto the disc with cdrecord at the 
command-line.
I created the USB Stick (2GB) with the "Startup DIsk Creator" of Ubuntu 12.04.

The older version 12.04 boots without problems from both DVD and USB
Stick.

I found a way to boot the 13.04 installation medium using grub2 of
myolder installed Linux:

set root='(hd1)'
chainloader +1

Something must be wrong with the ISO image - or my BIOS has a bug.
