Bug Description

I have a VIA Mini-ITX mainboard, with 1500 MHz straight off the shelf. I have used Ubuntu 6.06 and it worked fine. But the last version does not work...

I use the standard, desktop version, booting from CD.
I set the boot parameters for language and VGA and press Enter to start. Shortly thereafter the screen goes black, and the system does not respond to anything. The keyboard does not have any effect. The only sign of life is that the CPU fan is still running. No CD activity either.

The same CD works fine in my laptop. But the mainboard does not like Ubuntu 6.10.

Other forum guys complain the same:

Here is a link to the netshop where I bought the motherboard: http://www.komplett.no/k/ki.asp?sku=321540

Thank you!
