I have run into the same issue with the flashing login and unresponsive
keyboard on a Dell Dimension 4500. I am now on my third install with a
disk burned from an image downloaded on 2010-02-27. I believe it is the
nVidia drivers. During both of the first two installs, I elected to use
the nVidia/non-free drivers and was not able to log in after the install
reboot. The third time, I left the default driver package selected (I
can not remember exactly how the package was referred to in the drop
down) and have ignored the pop-up icon asking me if I would like to
enable the third-party drivers for 3d acceleration and am not having an
issue at this point. I have now been able to run all of the updates, but
since this is strictly to be a backend server, I am reluctant to load
the nVidia drivers. I am simply adding this comment so that hopefully
others will at least be able to do an install and get to the point where
they can run the updates, and possiibly  be able to fully utilize their
nVidia cards.

Bug description:
Version: 9.10 beta
Graphics: nvidia 8600GT
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-G31M-S2L

I'm trying to boot into the Mythbuntu 9.10 beta LiveCD environment.  When the cd boots the list of options appears.  If I select the option to start the LiveCD environment, the boot appears to start fine with dmesg output text scrolling down the screen.  The screen then freezes mid-boot with some of the dmesg output text flashing on the screen.
