Title: radeon broken with kernel 4.6.0+ Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Hello Guys, I'm currently running an up-to-date Xenial system on amd64 (PC) platform. Whenever I launch the OS with stock kernel (4.4.X) all seems good. Whenever I launch the OS with let's say a mainline-PPA kernel whose version is above 4.6.0 inclusive (4.5.X are functional), or stock yakkety kernel nowadays (4.8.X), kernel fails to setup my graphics card, whose description is appended in a few text files I joined to this message. In hope this helps, Sincelely, Vécu P.S. : I very suspect this is a mainstream bug ; for any complimentary info. please don't hesitate to post and ask for more.
