[Bug 558378] Re: lucid no longer boots after beta1 upgrades

[Antoine Pairet]

** Description changed:

- The laptop is a Samsung R20 equiped with ATI XPRESS 1250.
+ The laptop is a Samsung R20 equipped with ATI XPRESS 1250.
  
  Upgrade from karmic to lucid beta 1 succeeded and the system used to
  boot normally WITH nomodeset option. Using nomodeset, everything was
  working like a charm until I updated linux kernel and ati driver. Since
  then, the system won't boot, even with the option nomodeset.
  
  This bug report is sent from a  beta1 live session.
  System fails to boot using daily-live produced after beta1 although the same boot parameters are used: nomodeset.
+ I just tested beta2 and it still fails.
+ 
+ Here are some details of what happens:
+   1. setting nomodeset option
+   2. editing boot option, removing quiet and splash
+   3. Selecting Try Ubuntu
+   4. System begins to boot, lots of messages are printed on the screen
+   5. After 2-3 seconds, screen goes black although disk activity continues
+   6. Screen keeps being black and the computer is unusable
  
  I would be glad to help solve this bug by performing testing and giving
  as much information as needed. However, I will only be able to do these
  tests from live CD as I reinstalled karmic on my machine in order to
  have a working system.
  
  regards,
