Hi:  I received this error with 10.04 RC on 26Apr10 when booting on a
Dell 4550 desktop.  When loading from the cd it did not stop at an
intermediate menu to allow for selecting the live boot, install,
memtest, etc. like the previous 9.10 livecd but instead went all the way
to the live desktop (after several minutes) where I saw the crash icon.

On 3May10 I tried again with the full release of 10.04 and it behaved
the same way on the same machine.

I also tried to boot both on a Dell Inspiron laptop (5-6 yrs old) on
which 9.10 booted and installed ok.  They both stopped on a blank screen
after several minutes...  and refused to do anything else.
