Title:
  Karmic 64-bit CD does not boot on AMD 64 x2 System

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  I am unable to boot either the live or alternate 64-bit Karmic CD on
  systems with AMD 64 x2 5800 processor. With either CD, I get to the
  menu, however, after starting to boot in install mode I get a blank
  screen with a blinking cursor.

  It appears to lockup right before the expected white ubuntu logo would
  appear. System also has an Nvidia 9600 512MB card. I tried removing
  the video card and booting using the onboard Intel display, same
  results. System ran Jaunty great.

  The 32-bit live and alternate CD boot up fine, however, I cannot use
  this edition due to the amount of memory I have.

  Is there a workaround for this?
