Bug Description

I just can't install Ubuntu 12.04 x64 from a Desktop CD.
Installation and attemt to boot from a Live CD lead to a hang.
I have an Nvidia GTX 580 videocard and I think the problem is in a video driver.
I can install the system with an "nomodeset" mode. But it realy don't fix the problem.
I don't know how to find a problem package in this case.
I'm filling the bug report from a the current version of Live CD (with "nomodeset" mode) downloaded from cdimage.ubuntu.com
