Ok, got it working finally. :045:
Here's what I think happened:
After installing LL from DVD, I selected to restart the system when prompted. It started shutdown and the DVD tray opened as I expected. Then it froze and didn't complete shutdown. I had to power-off to get it to reboot. I think something went wrong at that step since then when booting, it would stop at the blinking cursor. Watching the boot messages it had an error with checksum on the casper image or something. I think the install didn't finish right.
A point to note is that this happened twice so it wasn't a one time thing. I think the install script had a problem with my system for some reason.
The way I got it to work was at the point when the install was done and it prompted to restart the system, I opened a terminal and issued "shutdown now". After doing that the DVD tray opened *and* the screen didn't freeze. It cleared and printed the normal instruction "remove installation media the press ENTER" or something similar. After removing the DVD and pressing enter the system shutdown normally.
After that I was able to set the boot for the UEFI: ubuntu and LL started up fine.
