Actually, it happens every time after it happens the first time - I
tried to reboot about ten times after the first failure with no success.

That's correct. On my last attempt to install 9.10 I managed to restart
the computer at least once after the restart done by the installation.
The point where I got a black screen was right before the login screen
(I did see the mouse logo during the boot up). It feels like XUbuntu
cannot find the correct display settings.

Yes, before the failure I installed the recommended updates but nothing
else.

No.

It is a 32-bit system and I used the xubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.iso
image.

Yes, I burned the mentioned image to a CD twice. Before burning I tested
the checksum and before installation I did the data integrity test - no
errors found. Same "black screen" behavior with both CD:s.

I have burned it but I have not tried it since I very much prefer
XUbuntu. Maybe I need to do that.
