I can confirm that this bug also exists for me on an Asus laptop with an Nvidia 360m card. Gnome loads, and I hear the sound play, but the desktop is garbled. I am unable to switch to any tty's to gather any logs. Tried using multiple usb sticks and verified their integrity multiple times.

I have tried installing 10.10 using both the final beta build and the RC build downloaded on October 2nd, both produce a block pattern that is black and white and unchanging. I'm guessing the noveau driver is hosed up in some way, sorry I can't be more helpful. Has anyone been able to successfully installed 10.10 via disc onto a laptop with a GTS 360m?
