Description:
Since Flight5 was not release for Kubuntu, I have downloaded Kubuntu
Dapper daily install CD for 2006-03-12.

I was able to use it and install succesfully on my desktop (P4 with ATI
Radeon 9100), but could not install on HP Compaq nw8240 notebook.

I was able to boot from CD, but the I just got Kubuntu logo with nothing else on the screen (no selection of different install options).
I cannot switch to text mode with Esc or switch text consoles - system is just hung.

On the same machine, I was able to install Kubuntu Flight 2 and 3
without problem and Flight 4 (but only when I switched to text mode /
see bug 31974).

Since Kubuntu Flight5 is supposed to be released later, I would really
like this bug to be addressed before that.
