Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau

Maverick beta desktop livecd (amd64) fails to boot unless 'nomodeset' is
specified on my MacBook Pro 5,1. Boot hangs with a flashing console
cursor straight after the boot options menu from the livecd.

Also once installed boot hangs with just the flashing console cursor
straight after grub without nomodeset also.
