Hi Michiel,
  Given that the install completed with no errors, I disagree with Fabio; I doubt the issue is your CD image.

I've seen people with similar problems, e.g. bug 804171 where the
problem is lightdm not starting.

Could you please attach to the bug the contents of /var/log/lightdm 
You might find that lightdm.log contains a lot of hints as to the problem.

Title:
  Fresh install ubuntu ocelot (11.10) hangs on booting on dell XPS m1530

Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I installed ubuntu oneiric ocelot from scratch (the option in the
  installer to replace the current ubuntu version.) Installing went fine
  (no problems reported.) But the system never totally booted after
  installing it. After some seconds, the (empty) purple screen appairs,
  and thereafter a text screen with some lines (I will attach a screen
  shot), and then nothing happens. I can only reboot from there using
  ctrl-alt-delete.

  By using the the safe mode to boot, I was able to reach the command
  line. I used apt-get to do the available upgrades.  That made no
  difference to the above.

  Does anyone else experience this?
  Does anyone know the solution?
