If the system is freezing, it isn't a ubiquity bug; a kernel bug is more likely, although trying to burn the CD at a lower speed or cleaning your CD drive may well also help. (If garbage is being read off the CD, it doesn't matter how bug-free the system is ...)

Please boot using a rescue mode (one that does not quiten then kernel output). See if you can capture any messages to the screen with a digital camera.

I can verify that the system hangs terribly in this situation. I do not know the cause, nor did I attempt to change to a differant tty.

I can tell you, however, that Kubuntu does not have this problem in the least. I am operaing a Dell Dimension 2400 right now running Kubuntu Live, and everything is running excitingly smoothly. I have a full resolution and will be clicking the 'Install' icon in a few minutes.
