Comment 28 for bug 1309617

After 3 days of trying to install Ubuntu Server on an older computer I finally did it. So, the problem was that after the installing process was finished, the system required a reboot. On reboot, the system kept freezing on a line with "adding XX to swap" or during the "plymouth" stuff.

So the key word in all of my setting was OLD parts. Actually the system was booting ok, only the display (and by that i mean either the graphic card or the monitor) kept freezing. But i didn't realize that until now. So in order to bypass that, just press F6 after you set the language for the install and from the advanced options check nomodeset. That simple....
