Bug Description
System running Mint 8 very well. Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3L mobo, Intel 6750, 2x2GB, Leadtek 9600GT, Samsung R/W optical.
ISO d/l verified MD5, burned slow speed, verified write. Booted from CD, POST OK, goes into CD read, shows first line from CD then just hangs on black screen. Applied the "Eureka" workaround for UbuntuForum:

with the nomodeset added then CTL-X; see the b/w screen display as it loads then hangs after display of "sensor settings". That's it, hangs; no HD activity, no CD activity.
Please note this exact problem has affected many at UbuntuForum (9 pages). Seems related to graphical driver but affecting Nvidia, ATI and Intel graphics setups. As several wrote: "not ready for prime time"
Marking as upstream.
PS: Did you try the compatibility mode of the liveCD? Does this boot successfully?
