[Bug 1071776] [NEW] Ubuntu 12.10 completely fails to install on Asus Eee pc X101CH

[Christopher Barrington-Leigh]

Public bug reported:

I installed Ubuntu 12.10 desktop x86 onto the brand new machine that I'm
writing this from (fresh install). It went through its install, said it
was finished, offered to reboot. I accepted. Now, it boots, passes
through Grub, and then gives a screen that looks like the attached
images.

>From there, I cannot reach a terminal with ctrl-alt-Fkey.
But if I press the powr button, it does initiate a shtdown.

So I tried installig 12.04, and that worked well. I'm writing this from
12.04, so attached data reflects the right hardware but not the problem
OS.
