Public bug reported: * Machine was happy with Xubuntu 13.10, but the software has been discontinued and I was forced to upgrade. * USB stick with 14.04.1 would reboot continuously. Temporary workaround: press F6 and select NOMODESET * USB stick with 14.04.1 server installs flawlessly, but then the server itself reboots continuously.
Workaround: * Boot into recovery mode (hidden grub option) * Drop to root shell * Mount disk for read/write * edit /etc/default/grub: find the line starting with 'GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=' and add the word nomodeset inside the quotes * run update-grub and reboot Developers: How is it possible that something so obvious has gone into an LTS? You may want to (1) review your processes and maybe be more conservative in the choice of package versions for an LTS; (2) have some basic validation process before releasing an LTS (AMD's APUs are mainstream hardware); (3) prioritize the fix of such bugs (first reports are from half a year ago) or extend the life of previous releases (13.10 was just fine) until they are fixed.
