10.04 both live cd and direct install go to blank...

[giuspen]

Hi,
I tried to install 10.04 but for the very first time since years I got stuck :(
I have an integrated intel video card, 512MB of RAM, both the "try ubuntu without installation" and the "directly install ubuntu" run for a while showing the ubuntu loading splash screen and then everything freezes and the screen comes blank.
Anybody who had the same problem can help?
Thanks in advance.

Thank you, I succeeded with the "Solution 2":

1) “Try Ubuntu without any changes” selected, then press F6
2) now press ESC
3) write i915.modeset=0 xforcevesa at command line end

This way I was able to have the live cd working and then install and have 10.04 working properly after reboot.
