Bug Description
I had to use the nomodset kernel option to get even the live cd of 12.04 Beta2 to run (64x with nvidia gt240.)
The installation was done with an automated re-partition for dual boot with win7.
After install on re-boot there was no grub2 menu to select desired os - the pc just booted to win7 as previously.
I got advice on irc.freenode.
(This situation would probably "throw" a real newbie quite badly.)
