** Description changed:

  Unable to boot into the Ubuntu 10.04 beta1 Live-CD. Therefore also
  unable to install the OS
  
  1. When nothing is set in the modes menu and no button is pressed then
  one can't even see the new Ubuntu Plymouth theme. The only thing one
  sees is a blinking cursor and it doesn't boot at all.
  
  2. If one presses F6 in the options menu and choose "nomodeset" then one
  does see the Ubuntu Plymouth theme but the laptop fails to boot and
  stops at the point there the b43 Wireless module gets loaded. The
  Wireless module seem not to be suppoted nativley. This would not be such
  a Critical issue HOWEVER only in this case the boot process HALTS. There
  is at this moment no know way to resume the boot to contine with the
  install. The option noload=b43 does not give any different solace.
  
  We repeated this procedure and the point where it stops is always the
  same.
  
  "b43-phy0 ERROR: FOUND UNSUPPORTED PHY (Analog 8, Type 4, Revision4)"
  
  Also using various boot options like: acpi=off noapic nolapic gave no
  different behaviour.
  
  Attached are two 2 screenshots and a movie (post #3 and post #12)
  demonstrating the problem.
