Works for me, too. Thank you, rsc!

I agree: it would be good to get this machine booting out of the box.

I also tried 10.04 LTS, and it has similar problems. However, the following 
works:
- install 10.04 amd64 from CD
- install linux-image-2.6.38-11-generic from 
http://packages.ubuntu.com/fi/lucid/linux-image-2.6.38-11-generic (transfer it 
to the laptop using an USB stick)
- add GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="nouveau.modeset=0" to /etc/default/grub
- run sudo update-grub
- reboot

Slightly OT: To get the Nvidia display working properly, add the PPA
from https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates and enable
the nvidia driver by running jockey-gtk.
