Bug Description
Running the 7.10 LiveCD on this platform:
http://
After the booting splash-screen and progress bar reaches 100%, the screen flickers as it tries to start gdm, but eventually fails with a text video mode error message "The display has been shut down about 6 times in the last 90 seconds... <OK>"
ctrl+alt+F5 takes me to a command line. I ran "ps -A | grep -i gdm" and killed all instances of gdm (there were 2). Ran "startx", and the desktop loaded and I was able to install.
7.04 did not have this problem and loaded without a hitch.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Can you try with latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.
