Bug Description

7.04 amd64 beta livecd fails to boot with the default splash screen option. The sytsem completely hangs early in the boot process where ctrl-alt-delete or alt-prntscn-b does not reboot unless I edit the boot options to specify nosplash. As long as I specify nosplash everything works great. I have an AMD Athlon64 3200+ with an ATI x850 video card and a gig of ram.

Tested with the i386 build and this was not an issue there, so it looks like this is amd64 specific.

Does this problem still occur with the Gutsy Tribe 1 livecd?

i've got the same problem with the 7.04 amd64 and gutsy tribe 1 livecds. the boot option nosplash isn't working for me, i don't even know if nosplash is a correct boot parameter(the help doesn't list it). i have an amd athlon64 4000+ and a ati radeon x800 pro video card.
to make the ubuntu 64 working for me, i had to use the alternate cd, then boot up in the recovery mode and delete the splash parameter in /boot/grub/menu.lst. i hope this bug could be fixed or atleast include a nosplash boot option.
