(Get the code!)
I got the sameproblem here on my Fujitsu Siemens Scaleo T, AMD X2 5000+,4 G RAM.
I experienced this problem first after upgrading from 9.04 to 9.10, when the kernel version 2.6.31 showed these symptoms. The old kernel of 9.04 did boot, however.
I then installed the vanilla kernels 2.6.31 (which failed to boot like the karmic kernel), and then 2.6.32, which booted perfectly without any issues. Assuming some incompatibilities between my machine and kernel 2.6.31, I decided to stick to 2.6.32 and wait for Lucid to go back for the ubuntu kernel.
After downloading Lucid Alpha (1 and 2) in 64 bit, I experienced the same problem with the live CD. However, when installung the vanilla 2.6.32-9 (which -to my knowledge- is the base forthe Lucifkernel), I can perfectly well boot my Karmic without any issues. My machine boots fine with the Lucid alpha Live CD in i386 version, as well as OpenSuse 11.2 Live CD.
So generally there seems to be an issue with the ubuntu modifications of the kernel. Since I only get a black screen and no error message at all, I am having a hard time trying to submit some useful data for bugtracking. Any hints ?
