I would like to confirm this behavior as well with hardy alpha 6. LiveCD reaches gdm login window, auto logs into "ubuntu" account, displays desktop image, and promptly fails to load gnome or metacity or even kills the xserver, popping the user back to the gdm login window, repeating ad infinitum. I have no idea how to determine which package is causing the problem with a liveCD. And yes, I checked the md5sum after downloading the image and checked the CD integrity. No errors were found. I have yet to try save graphics mode.
