Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

Booting to the Ubuntu Alpha 3, Beta 1 and 20100331.2 Live CDs, Ubuntu
hardlocks when plymouth should transition from the bootsplash to the X
session (the bootscreen stays up, appears completed but has stopped
animating, while the disc reads a bit longer, before eventually
hardlocking).  This occurs consistently on every boot.  Both of my
displays are connected by DVI, but I am unsure if this makes any
difference.

I workaround the issue by disconnecting my secondary display, complete
the installation, boot into the OS, apply any pending updates, reboot,
and install the restricted NVIDIA driver.  Once installed, I can
reattach the display and boot into Ubuntu without issue.

For reference, I am affected by Bug #43710, which provides a similar
experience under the old 'nv' driver for Ubuntu pre-Lucid.  That bug was
closed as 'wontfix'.  However, under that issue, I wouldn't hardlock --
I could press Ctrl+Alt+Del, and the computer would eventually reboot.

I would think this would be a blocking bug.
