It doesn't like your graphics card. When you get to the boot prompt hit Esc and add VGA=791 to the end of your kernel line. This will load the Vesa driver and give you a desktop. Post back when you get a desktop.
I can't post a screen shot of it but I may take a picture of what I mean, or not. Post your computer specs using this: http://www.cpuid.com/pcwizard.php

He's hitting 'Esc' at the wrong time....manju: immediately after the Bios bootup comes to the end, then hit 'Esc', "before" the 'Grub' menu comes up...otherwise, if you're dual booting (or more), then when you boot into Grub, highlight the line of Ultimate that you would normally boot into, then hit the 'e' key, then do what pch advised....

This is where you edit the boot string...press f6, then add VGA=791 at the end of the kernel line.
