Ok, attached is the output from "dmesg" after I booted from the Ubuntu 16.04 live DVD. Per the instructions here:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingKernelBoot I changed "set gfxpayload=keep" to "set gfxpayload=text" After doing that, the wireless network adapter didn't work. Previously, the wireless adapter did work but I left the "gfxpayload" setting to "keep". I'm using a wired Ethernet connection right now. I also replaced "quiet splash" with "nomodeset", since without "nomodeset", I won't get any video. There was no "vt.handoff" setting when I looked at the default kernel parameters screen. Please let me know what other information you need. Thanks! ** Attachment added: "dmesg output" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1598935/+attachment/4695538/+files/dmesg-2.log -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1598935 Title: Ubuntu 16.04 won't properly boot due to radeon module issue Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: When I boot an Ubuntu 16.04 live DVD on a Gateway system with an AMD A6-5400K APU, with an integrated Radeon HD 7540D graphics adapter, I get a black screen with no video image.
