13.04 was installed without issue, I don't have an iMac anymore so
cannot test against 14.04.

Happy to have bug (and duplicates) closed if no one else shouts their
problem exists in 13.10.

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: xorg

  Lucid beta 1 fails to boot on my Apple iMac 27" (Core i5 model).

  I am happily running Karmic (had to download backport Alsa to get
  sound working), but Lucid beta 1 fails to boot. You initially see the
  new purple Ubuntu loader, then it goes black - CD continues to whirl
  and after it sounds like it is loading in the background it resets and
  restarts.

  Suspect problem with video - I can get it to boot if I select option
  F6 and "selectnomodes" (I think thats what it was called) - it boots
  fine (I am running it now).

  Question: Would this stop me upgrading from Karmic?

  If you need any more info, please email.
