[ubuntu-uk] Gutsy beta CD won't boot properly

Hi all,

I've burned the gutsy beta CD. It will boot and show the menu (Start
Live CD/Check CD Contents/Memory Test/etc.) but the only option that
doesn't hang the PC is the 'Boot From First Hard Disk' option.

I've checked the ISO before burning with the MD5SUM, and if I boot a
virtual machine (e.g. qemu) using the burned disk, I can check the CD
contents and they're correct.

I probably need to try some extra command-line parameter in GRUB, but
I don't know what it might be. I've had the same problem in two
different PCs now too.

Any idea what the magic words are?

Hwyl,
Neil.
