  Lucid beta 1 fails to boot on my Apple iMac 27" (Core i5 model).
  
  I am happily running Karmic (had to download backport Alsa to get sound
  working), but Lucid beta 1 fails to boot. You initially see the new
  purple Ubuntu loader, then it goes black - CD continues to whirl and
  after it sounds like it is loading in the background it resets and
  restarts.
  
  Suspect problem with video - I can get it to boot if I select option F6
  and "selectnomodes" (I think thats what it was called) - it boots fine
  (I am running it now).
  
  Question: Would this stop me upgrading from Karmic?
  
  If you need any more info, please email.
