[Bug 52092] Live CD fails to boot after powerup

[gary]

Public bug reported:

My HP Pavilion n5470 laptop (info below) behaves oddly when I attempt to
boot the Dapper Live CD. When I attempt to boot from powerup, it freezes
between "Configuring X" and "Preparing restricted drivers". When,
however, I boot up Windows (Win2k Professional, SP 4) first then insert
the Live CD then "restart" -- the Live CD boots up just fine. (FWIW,
Knoppix Live dvd 4.0.2 boots just fine every time)

This behavior is  reproducible.

I'd love to installer Dapper on this machine but I'm reluctant to do so
... for obvious reasons

Thanks for help.
