Hello!
I'm trying to use Ubuntu on my notebook HP nx9005 but when I boot it shows a black page and I can't run and install it!
I tried with earlier version, kubuntu and alternative cd too...nothing...

As this user said (italian) it may be a problem with the "DDC":

It's an hardware problem (I've an old Radeon IGP 320M)...

I'm not the only one:
