Bug Description
When booting from the 10.4 RC Live CD, only a black screen is shown after booting. CTRL-ALT-Fn to switch to a console does nothing. I have tried passing nomodeset and different vga= values with no success. Because of a complete inability to see anything on the screen, I have no log. Ubuntu 9.10 Live CD boots with no problems so this seems to be a regression.

I have the same problem on a Sony VAIO CW2C5E notebook with nVidia 310M graphics. I had this problem with beta version too and I had to install from 9.10.
