Red Screen WIth Live CD When Booting Up - Intrepid Ibex Alpha 3

[Paul Weiss]

I just tried the new Ubuntu 8.10 Alpha 3 Live CD. Instead of the Ubuntu logo with the progress bar, half of my screen (top) became red. Following that white bars start coming through the red. Following this, the normal Ubuntu desktop appeared.

I have an Asus M50-SvA1 notebook with a Nvidia 9500m video card.

This bug also affects me in a certain way. I was able to boot from the Live CD, but after installing to my HDD and rebooting, the first thing I see is the top half of my screen is bright red, with the bottom half of my screen black, and a constant BEEP coming from the PC speaker.

I think this is more than a usplash bug. Here are my PC specs:
