When I boot the karmic Koala beta Desktop CD, the KDE splash screen loops.
During the first loop all icons appear up to the [K]. Then the screen turns black and the KDE splash screen starts over, displaying the first icon. From now on it loops endlessly: 1st icon - black screen - 1st icon ... 
Probably the X server crashes again and again.
No response to keyboard or mouse except the following keys: 
Ctrl-Alt-F1 (does not display text terminal #1 as expected, but weird blocks of color). 
Ctrl-Alt-F7 returns me to the KDE splash screen loop
Alt-SysReq-B reboots as expected.
Alt-SysReq-E does not terminate the loop, only seems to restart the splash screen.

This happens, no matter what boot options I try (default / acpi=off /
Safe graphics mode).
