Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubiquity

Trying to check the install disk for defects (lucid alpha 3) blanks the screen so you can't tell if the disk is good or bad. After the disk stops spinning (presumably after the check completes) ctl-alt-del is needed to regain control of the computer. This has happened on both the 32 & 64 bit disks on 2 different computers. Dell P-4 and HP Q6600.
