just to check, does getting a graphics card fix it?

Title:
  integrated radeon + ssd creates boot problems

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I'm using an asus motherboard F1A75-Vpro with integrated graphic chipset.
  No trouble whith 12.04 or 12.10 installation as long as i use a normal harddisk.
  I recently bought a ssd drive, installation was successfull, but 50% of time when booting,
  computer freezes. 

  On a frozen boot the file kern.log ends with:

  Apparently, the fact that i boot from SSD has an influence on the integrated radeon chipset.
  Is it because SSD boots much faster and radeon chipset not responding fast enough?     

  To reproduce bug you need to use 
  1. the F1A75-Vpro motherboard
  2. the integrated AMD Radeon graphics
  3. installation done on SSD

  By integrating an extra video card the problem is solved.

  Installing swap, /tmp, /var, /boot  on a standard platter drive does
  not solve the problem

  Installing / on a standard platter drive does solve the problem
