Just downloaded the latest nightly live CD and installed.

After reboot computer freezes at splash screen.

Reinstalled from a previous dialy Live CD (about a week old) and ran sudo 
apt-get-update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade.

Rebooted, screen freeze again at Ubuntu splash screen.

Rebooted and reverted to previous kernal and was able to log in just fine.

On a related note....

Upgrding kernel-headers package to the latest causes apt/dpkg to lock up 
while unpackaing.

That took a lot of playing with to work around.

Workaround for now is to remain with older Kernel version 2.6.32-15


Hardware:

ASUS Laptop
Intel Core i5-430M CPU
4GB of DDR3 1066MHz SDRAM
500GB Hard Drive 
NVidia GT325M Graphics Engine with 1GB DDR3 Dedicated VRAM (also Intel 
Onboard GMA and sound).

Fun times....
