Some updates regarding my experience. I this case I am only using the live CD to aid replication of the problem.
1) My monitor has only DVI and I get a blank screen every time; I have tried several times with the live CD (and also my hardy to intrepid "upgraded" (X now screwed!) system) but never experience the occasional success like Taco.
2) If I use safe graphics mode I still get a blank screen.
I attach 2 failure logs for normal mode and one for safe graphics mode. I think the only difference in each failure for normal mode is 2 or 3 lines of memory addresses.
