[Bug 1388453] [NEW] Unable to install 14.10 - Black Screen

 

Public bug reported:

First, the cd (64Bit) is alright, tried on another computer and is working. 
Booting Live cd.

        -Choose Language (OK)

        -Choose Keyboard-layout (OK)

Wen I go further, a black screen appears, with a cursor on the upper
right corner. The cd is reading further for a minut or two, but nothing
on the screen

Tried with nomodeset, acip=off and nolapic, with same result.

Tried with No splash instead of quit splash. These are the last lines on
my screen:

    -[6.970397] nouveau [DEVICE][0000:02:00.0] Boot0:0x0c1080a1

With nomodeset

    -[6.919661] nouveau [DEVICE][0000:02:00.0] Boot0:0x0c1080a1
    -[6.920729] nouveau [DEVICE][0000:02:00.0] Chipset:GF108(NVC1)

With nomodeset, acpi=off and nollapic

    -[6.907090] nouveau [DEVICE][0000:02:00.0] Boot0:0x0c1080a1
    -[6.907174] nouveau [DEVICE][0000:02:00.0] Chipset:GF108(NVC1)
    -[3.908179] nouveau [DEVICE][0000:02:00.0] Family:NVC0

I had no troubles installing 14.04 months ago. (nor with earlier
versions)

My system:

    Intel Core2

    Mem: 3 GB

    Video card: Nvidia Geforce GT430

I'm working in a resolution 1680x1050 on HDMI.

btw: all above happens also with the versions 14.10 of Xbuntu en Lubuntu too. Something changed between 14.04 and 14.10 so my video card is no longer supported?
I tried installing the latest Fedora, Opensuse, and PClinuxOS and had no troubles.
