I am novice to the Linux. I used Ubuntu on my laptop. Recently in my Lab I tried to use Ubuntu as dual boot on workstation Dell Precision 3500chasis. Configuration is as follows:

Intel(R) Xeon(R)w3670 3.2GHz. 12 M cache.6C. 24 (6*4)GB ram.

After boot from CD, only Ubuntu logo showed up, after that it parses some line on screen, The process stop at that point only.

I Boot Opensuse 11.3 with CD, it works.

But I want to use Ubuntu instead. Does anyone have any ideas?

I would be ever so grateful for your help.

Sounds like you should try booting with nomodeset. You set this with the menu under F6 on the grub boot menu.

Nice instructions here in this ubuntu forum post
