So I'd first recommend trying the 12.04.1 CD here:
   http://releases.ubuntu.com/12.04.1/ubuntu-12.04.1-server-amd64.iso
If you have the same problem, try the daily:
 
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-server/precise/daily/current/precise-server-amd64.iso
We are close to releasing 12.04.2, so that daily should be close, and 
any changes will just be sent down via updates.
