I tried to boot ubuntu 10.04 rc livecd (32 bit) via hd.

I can see the Purple ubuntu loading for less than a second , then it turns into blank black screen and nothing happens after, cannot use it or login. It seems that the live ubuntu completely crashed. I try to press ctrl+alt+f1/f2..., then capslock, but there is no response. So I can do nothing, except pressing the power button to shutdown my laptop.

My laptop is BenQ Joybook 5000U, with a Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated graphics card.

The earlier livecd, 10.04 Beta2, boot perfectly on my laptop, with compiz enabled, but the RC version of livecd always fails.

There must be a bug on X or gdm, or video driver. When it trys to start gdm after boot logo, it always turn into blank black screen, with key board locked. I hope this problem will not appear on the final release.
