I had the same problem, cf.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1309752

When I left VNC disabled, the installation was finished seemingly  
succesfully, but after reboot I get a blank screen and 2 keyboard LEDs  
flashing continuously.

When I boot in the recovery mode, I also get the flashing LEDs but I  
see on the screen the end of some traceback. Should I write it down?

This is my first experience with MythTV.

I install it on an external USB drive not to mess with my primary  
system (Debian testing). This is an old disk, I have some other unused  
systems (Debian and Windows XP) on it which I am also unable to boot,  
but the symptoms are quite different.

Best regards

Janusz
