I installed ubuntu 9.10 and it was rebooting just before the login screen.
After really long search it turned out it's the video driver, I guess the
one coming with ubuntu didn't like my card. I have integrated Radeon HD3200.

What worked for me:
1. Select recovery mode from grub menu (in your case for 9.10 too)
2. In the first following screen select "root with networking" to have
internet
3. Install video driver package EnvyNG with:
sudo apt-get install envyng-core envyng-qt <==================== line
commands to get sucky Ubuntu to work. Oops.
4. Run in text mode with:
envyng -t
5. It will give you a menu offering installtion of Nvidia or ATI driver
(also entries for removing drivers but I didn't do that).
6. Select the driver and it will download it itself.

You'll figure it out from there.
After the driver installation and the reboot I just selected Ubuntu (normal
mode) and worked straight away.
