Title:
  Ubuntu 10.10 installation CDs freeze at splash screen

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  When attempting to install Ubuntu 10.10 on a Compaq Presario 2170US
  Laptop, the system freezes almost immediately after the kernel loads.
  This happens when using CD and DVD media, and with the Live CD and the
  Alternate Install CD. Hardware problems and the possibility of
  corrupted media have been ruled out by the following steps:

  1) The same Live CD that fails on the Compaq 2170US boots on other
  computers without difficulty.

  2) An Ubuntu 10.04 Live CD boots on the Compaq 2170US without
  difficulty

  Others are experiencing similar problems on different hardware, such
  as the problems recounted in this thread:
