I downloaded this ISO of Raring Ringtail: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/20121129/raring-desktop-amd64.iso.
I created a live non persistent USB key with Unetbootin.
When booting my PC from a this live USB key into a live session with the above image and also with Precise 12.10.1 I get a kernel oops, see attached image-1.
If I boot my PC from the same live USB key, but instead of selecting "try Ubuntu" I select "Install Ubuntu" I get a messed up background with red spots and signs, see image-2.
Even with the display all messed up I can carry out the installation, but when I boot my PC I get a red spotted and messed up backgroud, as soon as I login to my session I get a kernel oops again - see image-3.
If I install the proprietary ATI drivers (apt-get install fglrx), and reboot everything is fine, so I think that the problem is due to the video drivers (ATI radeon HD 6670).
I am attaching a lshw.txt file with my PC's hardware and the output of dmesg, lsusb and lspci.
