Title:
  Precise beta install crashes from cd after boot

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Sorry for filing it with "ubiquity", but the bug is linked to the
  install process of the beta version of Precise Pangolin, and I had to
  choose a package for Apport.

  Steps:
  1 downloaded live CD from  http://releases.ubuntu.com/precise/ by April 2nd,
  2 boot with live CD
  3 ubuntu loading page appears, dots moving
  4 funny welcome page appears: parts of my standard Lucid Lynx desktop, strangely shifted across the wallpaper. Let's say, the upper left quarter at the lower right, etc. system goes on working for a while, then freezes. no input, even not the REISUB sequence. why does the live CD install take info from my harddisk???
  5 switch off power, new boot, I repeat steps 2 + 3
  6 very colourful screen with many pixels, as if taking a random bitmap and displaying by the graphic card. comp seems to work for some seconds (CD player active), no input accepted
  7 the same like steps 5 + 6

  I see no chance to intervene, i.e. to make a mistake.

  Where can I find logs to post? Those in the /var/log/installer are
  very old. Can I stop the process?

  No hurry, I'm safely and happily working on Ubuntu 10.04 and open for
  testing.
