running a HP elitebook 2730p - I'ved attempted to install via multiple methods...
USB drive created with usb-creator,
USB created with unetbootin,
HDD install created with unetbootin,
wubi...
multiple disc images, both x86_32 and amd64, all of which have good md5 checks.
Each time, I get the exact same problem, which is a blank screen (backlit, but no text). The only solution I've found by searching is to enter recovery mode (which suffers the same problem after the wall of text during boot), or to add 'nomodeset' to the cli options, which has no apparent effect.
I'm really at a loss at this point... if someone has another suggestion to try...
*edit*
booting with a vga cable plugged in got me a display, running the update manager allowed me to boot without the vga cable.
