[Bug 535325] [NEW] Lucid 10.04 will not boot from Live CD or USB stick on HP Pavillon desktop computer

[Joe]

Public bug reported:

I have downloaded the Live CD image from today's daily Lucid 10.04 build
(3/9/2010) for AMD64 and created a Live CD (DVD-RW, DVD+RW), and a live
USB disk. None of these will boot on my desktop computer HP Pavillon
a6430f.  They do boot on my Compaq CQ60-615DX laptop computer. The boot
sequence goes to the "Install package (as superuser)" screen. I then
select "Try Ubuntu 10.04" and I get the Ubuntu startup sound, and then
nothing. The system seems to be rebooting or retrying, but nothing
happens. As mentioned, on my labtop, everything works as expected.
Except for the fact that I was unable to write this bug report from the
Lucid system - it said the linux image was not a genuie Ubuntu package.
That is why I am wrting this bug report from Ubuyntu 9.10. Obviously,
there is something about my desktop computer that Lucid currently does
not agree with. I thought it was important to report this problem. Since
Lucid will not boot, I am unable to collect any data.
