This happens. Try using the "Safe Graphics" mode. And if that doesn't work
either, you will have to install Ubuntu using the text installed via the

I remember reading that there should be a feature called 'bullet proof

I remember the feature too. Seemed like a n awesome thing for Linux users.
Wonder what happened to it.
