[Bug 546393] [NEW] MacBook Pro 5, 2 fails to boot into 10.04 beta1 desktop

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

MacBook Pro 5,2 (that's the current model from mid-2009) is unable to boot into the Ubuntu 10.04 beta1 Live-CD.
I use the 17-inch version, specs can be found here: http://www.apple.com/macbookpro/specs-17inch.html

1. When nothing is set in the modes menu and no button is pressed then I
can't even see the new Ubuntu Plymouth theme. The only thing I see is a
blinking cursor and it doesn't boot at all.

2. If I press F6 in the options menu and choose "nomodeset" then I see
the Ubuntu Plymouth theme but the laptop fails to boot and stops at a
specific point. I repeated this procedure and the point where it stops
is always the same.

I attached 2 screenshots and a movie demonstrating the problem.
