Bug Description
Hi
After upgrading from Maverick to Natty, this machine (now running via a Live CD) becomes unbootable. The boot process seems to start off OK, but then finishes with an "aubergine screen of death" with a solid blue line at the top (see attached photo). I have tried the uprgrade via both apt and the live CD but the two methods fail in the same way.

Just tried again with the boot option acpi=off - same result.
Also, any attempt to boot into rescue mode results in a system freeze and a "black screen of death."
