gfxboot doesn't work

Bug Description

I can't boot the flight2 CD on my HP-NW8240.

The CD works and installs correctly on another machine. Also, the md5sum of the
ISO matches that in the MD5sums file, and the CD is fine. Even with a CD burned
at a lower speed this doesn't work.

The moment I press a key in gfxboot, I get a 'debug window' with 2 stack
traces(?). When I press ENTER, I get an error-window saying 'Can't read install
CD-ROM' (or something like that), and then the system reboots.

The drive is /dev/hdb.

Same here with Kubuntu Flight 2. I have switched to text install and it worked.

  * Remove timeout clock graphics, which seem to break on some machines and
    were scary-looking anyway (closes: Ubuntu #21210).
  * Add Galician translation (thanks, Pedro Silva; closes: Ubuntu #21806).
  * Consider bit depth while sorting video modes.
  * Remove duplicates from video mode list (closes: Ubuntu #21578).
