Comment 2 for bug 466189

Quite I lot of people have experienced this problem: see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1304287. I think it should be set to a much higher priority.

I'm having this problem too. I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 live CD 32 bit on an Asus laptop. It displays gnome, but then almost immediately hangs. Only the mouse pointer moves, but you can't get anything to respond. Ctrl+alt+f1 does nothing.
