Hi,

I downloaded the ubuntu lucid amd64 final iso and did the sha256sum. I created a live USB and also burned the iso on a disc. Both produced the same error:

When I let it boot from the USB/CD it shows the purple splash with the "keyboard equals human"-icon, after that goes onto a black screen with a blinking cursor. When using the CD you can hear the CD spin down and no activity on the laptop.

When I press the keyboard while booting, I can choose different options, options "try ubuntu", "install ubuntu" and "check for errors" all fail in the same way.

As I'm not able to do much, I can't use apport or read logs (unless there is a way to do so?) I'll put as much information about this laptop as I'm able to find:

Intel® Core™ Duo T6600
(2.20 Ghz - 2 MB L2 cache)
15.6" LED widescreen
WXGA (1366 x 768 pixels)
Mobile GM45 chipset
4 GB DDR2 RAM
VGA: Mobile Intel® GMA 4500MHD
And it has currently Windows 7 installed

Thanks for reading this bug report, and hopefully this can be fixed?
