Fails to boot from 6.06 AMD64 CD

[gratefulfrog]

Running an AMD64, ATI graphics card 8250, I started up from the 6.06 CD, went all the way to "starting sys log", then screen blanked and PC died, had to do an electrics OFF restart.

CD checksums are OK,

Running from Safe graphics mode is ok.

startup no longer asks about localisation, or keyboard?

Am now exploring the cool new Ubuntu!

Let me know if I can help debugging this...
GF.

I'm still here! I'm now using version 7.04. This bug no longer affects my system. I continue to report and help as much as I can.

I am a firm believer in GNU & open source! I love and admire the work that you Ubuntu guys are doing! Keep it up!

cheers,
Bob.

We are actively preparing Ubuntu 7.10 codename Gutsy.
Maybe you would be interested to know that a new Beta Live CD will come out tomorrow, named Tribe-4.
By trying it, no need to install it, you can help us make sure it works fine with your hardware and make the next version better.
