Cannot install Intrepid beta via the "Install Kubuntu Now" option

[aged hippy]

I down-loaded the Intrepid beta this morning and burned it, checked the burn (no defects), and tried to install.

Twice i tried to install via the "Install Kubuntu Now" option, when i had selected the keyboard then the layout, the installer very quickly examined the HDs, then stopped, then the CD spun down, and all activity ceased.

The third time, i loaded the desktop instead, then selected "Install", and it was successful.

The only reason i didn't install was that the installer kept on insisting that whatever was on sda2 would be destroyed.
That is / for the Hardy install, and so i quit.

This has also been reported by another user on the Kubuntu Forums, his experience was identical to mine.

I run into similar problem with Xubuntu Intrepid Beta. The installer just stops after X start and the only thing I see is the X cursor.
When I tried kernel parameter acpi=off installation was able to get a little bit further - the cursor became a spinning circle, but all activity ceased.

Finally I manged to install it having choosing "Try Xubuntu without changing your computer" first and then installing from inside of loaded LiveCD system.

Output of lspci -vvv is attached.
