Public bug reported:

Lubuntu vivid amd64 2015-01-28 does not boot on a MacBookPro.  Here  are
the hardware specs

http://linux.slashdot.org/story/15/01/28/1520252/why-screen-lockers-
on-x11-cannot-be-secure

Here is the image which does not boot:
http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/326/builds/88376/downloads

The image starts in "insecure mode" and then GRUB comes up and offers
several choices.  When choosing "Try Lubuntu without installing" it runs
for a few seconds and then  freezes, apparently indefinitely.  There is
no way to get to another console with ctrl-alt-f1 or anything else.  The
only text on the console is:

[    7.093063] i i8042: No controller found
starting version 218

More or less the same error occurs when choosing "Install Lubuntu" from
GRUB

** Affects: linux (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Incomplete
