Bug Description

When try to install ubuntu 12.04 x64 on a dell pc with Nvidia card, the installation hangs (more precisely, screen is hangs, but something is being done)

Solution: add
 nomodeset
parameter to kernel when installing

I found it here
http://askubuntu.com/questions/127305/how-to-install-ubuntu-on-a-computer-with-a-nvidia-geforce-gtx-550-ti

and I strongly believe it should be added to the official boot troubleshooting documentation
https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/installation-guide/amd64/boot-troubleshooting.html
