Arch seems to give a similar error. Fedora 12 hangs in boot up due to what seems to be a graphics issue.
Any ideas?
Did you use Bootcamp to create a partition to install Ubuntu on?
If you want to install Ubuntu Lucid place the cd in the drive, power off your computer,
start it up while holding down the "c" key, it should boot to the install screen, where you
have the option of trying it without installing, or you can choose to install.
At this screen you can press the "f6" key and disbale acpi and choose nomodesest,
try these options and see if you can boot. It takes a couple of minutes to start a "live"
session which will boot up to the Ubuntu desktop.
Hope this helps.
