Bug Description
I have an HP dv9700t laptop with an Nvidia 8600M GS graphics card. I just tried to install Ubuntu 8.04 beta. Once selecting the option to install, the screen goes black. There is absolutely no video. After about A minute or two, the disc is still spinning but no video. I also selected the option to try Ubuntu without installing, but the same thing happened. I haven't tried the alternate iso yet. I was trying to install the 64 bit version.

Thanks for your bug report and for your contribution to ubuntu. In order to determine if this issue is usplash related, would you boot your computer with usplash disabled and then shutdown to see if you can reproduce the issue? To disable usplash for one boot time, you can follow these steps :
1. Press F6 during Grub boot delay.
2. Remove "splash" and "quiet" and press "enter".
