Bug Description

I downloaded the Livecd for Ubuntu Hardy Heron Alpha 3 and ran it on my HP Compaq 6715s laptop. I did see the ubuntu progress bar window when it was starting, but when (my guess) it was supposed to show the desktop then nothing happened. Instead of seeing the desktop I saw the linux loading status text.

Steps to reproduce:
1. run the hardy heron alpha 3 on my laptop
2. Choose the first item in the menu (start ubuntu), I also tried running it with "safe graphics mode" but there were no difference
3. Wait during the progress bar going back and forth
4. The linux loading screen text comes up
5. Nothing happens
