I am trying to install Ubuntu in a ideapad u330 and I get this black screen with this information: Linux Ubuntu 2.6.27-7-generic #1 SMP fri Oct 24 06:40:41 UTC 2008 x86_64 The programs included with the Ubuntu system are free software; the exact distribution terms for each program are described in the individual files in /usr/share/doc/*/copyright.

It may be you installed the mimimal installation - if so, all you get is that black screen with a command prompt. Type Code: startx and press Enter just to see what happens.
startx
Flightgear FTW!
Did you install the server CD? If you did, Code: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop will get you set up. dan
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
You can also try hitting the F4 key when the live menu comes up and select safe graphics mode, sometimes this helps
