Title:
  Installation DVD/Stick of 13.04 32bit fails to boot on Acer Aspire One
  756

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  The Installation DVD and also the USB Stick of Ubuntu 13.04 32bit
  fails to boot on my Acer Aspire One 756. I get a blank black screen
  with a blinking cursor. Holding the shift key down does not make any
  difference. I don't see anything on screen between the BIOS summary
  screen and the black screen. No error message, no ISOLINUX, nothing
  from grub.

  I created the DVD by burning the ISO image onto the disc with cdrecord at the command-line.
  I created the USB Stick (2GB) with the "Startup DIsk Creator" of Ubuntu 12.04.

  The older version 12.04 boots without problems from both DVD and USB
  Stick.

  I found a way to boot the 13.04 installation medium using grub2 of
  myolder installed Linux:

  set root='(hd1)'
  chainloader +1

  Something must be wrong with the ISO image - or my BIOS has a bug.
