Failed to start Ubuntu with relatively new hardware. From the initial boot menu, selected default option, "Start or install Ubuntu" (USB keyboard didn't work).
Screen with orange progress bar completed (successfully, as far as I can tell). An extra ghost progress bar was displayed above the real bar once out of five times I tried this.
The next screen gets to the fourth item "running local boot scripts [OK]". The screen blinks three times, then goes dark permanently. There is no CD or hard drive activity after that.
Another attempt to install Ubuntu failed. However, I got much further with this build than with 7.04.
