Question #76217 on Ubuntu changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/76217

    Status: Needs information => Open

Tarmac gave more information on the question:
Yes - the problem is not with the actual installation media.

I used it to install on the Alienware perfectly.  The installer loads up
fine and proceeds to install on the XPS, but when it comes to the part
where it wants to show some GUI element of the installation, it just
fails to succeed.  8.10 said something about XServer failing to
intialise before whereas 9.04 doesn't give any such detail.

I'm clearly no expert as I'm trying to learn as much as I can about
Linux, but it would appear that the installation has major issues with
newer cards and/or ones in an SLI configuration?


Many thanks for any assistance.
