I have a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo A1645 notebook working perfect with Ubuntu 11.04 (32 bit) and 11.10 (32 & 64 bit). Installation was a piece of cake and except for the wireless driver that had to be installed manually (Broadcom 4318; b43-fwcutter, firmware-b43-installer) everything worked out of the box.
I decided to do a clean install of 12.04 Precise Pangolin so I erased my HDD (shred) just like I did before all previous installs and tried to boot the 12.04 (64 bit) desktop-CD. After getting to the language select screen I selected the "install" option. Some moments of a screen with "Ubuntu 12.04" and the dots beneath are then followed by a screen with all kind of notifications (see picture below) and a some kind of freeze of the system, no response on keys and the only option is to shutdown.

I then tried to install Precise Pangolin by the text-based alternate-CD which worked quite well but after the necessary reboot the system freezes again with a blinking underscore or a screen with notifications as shown above. I then tried to boot the desktop-CD by the Live-option with options nomodeset, acpi=off and vga=771/???. All results in a freeze of the system. I also tried to boot with "xforcevesa" when pushing escape at the language select menu but this gave "Could not find kernel image: xforcevesa". Furthermore I tried to boot a live Xubuntu-CD but this also gave a freeze with "Welcome to Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (GNU/Linux 3.2.0-23-generic x86_64) * Documentation https://help.ubuntu.com/) on the screen. So I assume it has nothing to do with Unity.
Meanwhile I cannot find a solution in all the threads on the internet so I wonder if anyone has a clue what's going wrong? I think it's very strange Ubuntu 12.04 isn't working while 11.04 and 11.10 were working perfect on exact the same notebook. The notebook has a AMD Turion 64 MT-28 CPU and 1GB RAM (870.4 MiB after subtraction for video chip?). The video chip is if I'm right a SiS M760.
I wonder if anyone has a solution how to get the Live-CD option working while I reinstalled 11.10 to maintain productive.
