Bug Description
While trying to install ubuntu 6.10, after showing a loading screen, the screen goes and stays black. This also occurs in safe graphics mode. The same going black behavior also occurs after an install via the alternative install CD. I needed to install commercial video card drivers by ssh to get X.
