Ubuntu/Mythbuntu install problem

Put in the disk, it boots, see the ubuntu logo then I see the above. Any ideas?

I had a friend with the same issue, let me see if I can find out if he solved it.

Have you tried booting with safe graphics mode or try the alternate installer cd.

Ctrl -alt - f1 then sudo s?

from ubunutu forums:

"This is a video problem, it seems.
When booting from the cd/usb, at the first purple screen (the one with the little ma icon at the bottom) press any key. Then choose your language and on the next screen press F6. Some boot options will appear bottom right. Try the "nomodeset" option first."

seems to work.
