Comment 2 for bug 575103

With Dell Latitude D505 same result:
after booting from the i386 desktop boot CD (downloaded today 5/5 in the morning) and doing nothing but wait:
- the Ubuntu boot logo starts up
- then a flicker and the screen gets black
- Alt-Ctrl F1 up to Alt-Ctrl F12 does not change to a text console => no debug output
- Alt-Ctrl Backspace does not show anything
- Alt-Ctrl-Del does not work either

 How to proceed?

- I try the text based i386 alternate installer now.
