(Get the code!)
I am experiencing the same problem on Optiplex 960 w/ BIOS A05 (not sure if there's a more specific version). This configuration has the NVidia 9300 GE 256MB graphics card. The fix mentioned in the blog post did not work for me, as that option was already unchecked in the BIOS.
I should add that even after installing using the text-based installer for 9.10, I get this black screen of death when the installed OS boots. (So this is not limited to the LiveCD.) When X11/Xorg starts it also seems to kill my ability to interact with the keyboard (so cannot switch out to console).
I also tried Ubuntu 8.10 LiveCD with no better luck. The only OS / configuration I have so far gotten to work is Fedora 12. The installer worked fine (in graphical mode); after installation, though, I had to install the NVIDIA drivers manually (the kmod-nvidia packages did not work at all).
