Hi,

I can confirm that this bug exists in 12.04LTS release and that the workaround works as well.

I am currently trying to install Ubuntu Precise onto a old desktop with a SiS chipset and a Athlon XP CPU as well. Ubiquity would always crash just when the slideshow is loading up. A method to outright tell ubiquity to not show the slideshow would be a good workaround for this issue. Either that, or providing text install as well with the live CD.

I'd also like to note that the alternate installer CD, for some reason, would not work with this chipset- the chipset will not see the bootloader on the CD.
