Same problem. AMD 64 (3000+) / Asus moterhbord VIA chipser / ATI RADION 9800 PRO
Desktop disk (i386) should work, gave the Gnome desktop on another pc (still,
mouse didn't move, 2 X bad luck with trying Ubuntu)
If I remove splach+quit from the command line I get all the message and
no longer only
I think I understand now.
Either I use
feisty-desktop-i386.iso (or 64 bit version) herd 4
or
I change the bios-settings for AGP from 8X to 4X and/or disable fast writing,
then install the ubuntu-6.10-desktop-i386.iso (or 64 bit version)
and then install the fix from
