I was unable to get a clean install with a default ThinkPad W500 configuration and a 32 bit Ubuntu 8.10 downloaded ISO burned to CD. I referenced [http://tennessee.ubuntuforums.com/showpost.php?s=a372ee2edc2015c55dfa88a062461249&p=6093814&postcount=4 this post] from the ubuntu forums which allowed me to complete the Ubuntu installation.

Go into BIOS and change your display settings to:
 
−
 
 
−
* Default Primary Video Device = PCI Express
 
−
* Boot Display Device = ThinPad LCD
 
−
* Graphics Device = Discrete Graphics
 
−
* OS Detection for Switchable Graphics = Disabled

The W500 has switchable graphics and Ubuntu is unable to determine which graphics card to use without these BIOS settings to point the way.
