Figured out that it is the internal GFX (intel i915) interacting with the PCI-E (Nouveau). I can prevent this happening on the installed system (10.04 + 2.6.38) but killing/renaming the i915 module. At which point it boots through to X.

$ cd /lib/modules/2.6.38-020638rc8-generic/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/
$ sudo mv i915.ko i915.ko_hide

Not sure how to achieve the same with a LiveCD. Suggestions?

I am unable to disable the onboard GFX in the BIOS,
Simon.
