[Bug 59795] Ubiquity crashes 6.06 on Installation

[Tristan]

Public bug reported:

When trying to install ubuntu the installation fails and is aborted.
steps taken to verify that this is not a bug 

CD crc checked md5 checksum matches and is fine
Mem test performed and is also fine 
hardware runs fine on windows xp 

the only reason Im fileing this bug report is because of the hardware
that is being run is not "mainstream" and may not have been encountered
before.

system specs are as follows

this is a via mini itx board
