I experienced a similar problem too with my fujitsu m1450G. The live CD freezes when gnome starts. I had to boot with the safe graphic mode.
lspci : Display controller: intel corporation mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML
I have no problem with breezy too.
When looking dmesg : it uses the xforcevesa to boot ?
I doubt in upgrading my breezy to dapper with synaptic as I don't expect to be able to reboot after upgrade.:-)
