[wplug] Ubuntu - Video fails on boot.

[Ed Stewart]

I have 11.04 on both my hotrod desktop, 9500 quad core AMD with 8 gig of 
ram and on my gateway laptop, no problems what so ever. I am been trying 
to put it of a desktop 32 bit which ran 9.04 great, but have had the 
install fail many times at various places. I have downloaded the .iso 
from several different sources, so I don't think the disks are at fault.
