[Bug 546743] Re: Blank screen at first boot with ATI ES1000 and 10.04 server

[Richard Hosking]

Similar thing on a Supermicro 3U server on boot (same ATI ES1000).  This
is just at boot up and nothing to do with X as we don't use it.

Worked around it for the moment by setting "nomodeset" on the grub
command line, manually at the grub menu for the first time, then in
(/etc/default/grub->GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX).

Without nomodeset, server locks up with flashing Capslock/Scroll lock so
unable to get boot logs.  Happy to experiment with the server to try and
get logs out of it if any help to fix this (or try newer kernels etc).
