Although Ubuntu 8.10 was working fine there, Ubuntu 9.04 does not even start from Live CD.
Booting in "save graphic mode" does not help. During startup of xorg, the PC switches to black and afterwards,
you can no longer switch to a virtual console or even reboot the machine by pressing: <Ctrl>-<Alt>-<Del>.
So I'm not able to append any logfiles. Sorry.
