On a Dell Inspiron 8200 with Nvidia NV17 (64MB) graphics, I encountered
the same problem trying to boot Ubuntu or Lubuntu Saucy (13.10) Live
discs.

Entering 'help' at the boot: prompt produced a special boot menu, but
below the menu there was an option to simply press Enter to boot.  Doing
that resulted in booting to the Live desktop *without* the usual two
menu screens where I choose my Language and then choose to Try *buntu
Without Installing.

Title:
  maverick live cd won't boot

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  The live cd for the Maverick release won't boot. Instead it just shows
  the following message:

  "graphics initialization failed
  Error setting up gfxboot
  boot:"

  Hitting enter at this point simply brings up the message "Loading
  bootlogo..." briefly only to go back to the previous message.

  The machine is an Intel Pentium M --Centrino laptop. The cd boots
  correctly in other pcs --checked media successfully.
