Is there anything more I can do to help debug this? In my latest attempt to get any useful information, I removed my usb keyboard in favor of a ps2 one. On boot and subsequent fail, the caps lock and scroll lock flash 10 times. I thought maybe getting a serial console going would help but this computer doesn't have a db9/rs232 port and it appears to be failing before the USB subsystem is initialized so USB serial console appears to be a no-go. I'm pretty new / green on debugging at this low a level, but I'm willing to give it a go if anyone has ideas to try... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1568429 Title: Radeon won't work with KMS enabled To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1568429/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I had to set radeon.modeset=0 to be able to boot. That prevents the module from loading at startup because it needs modeset enabled. After that, I tried to load the module with: # modprobe radeon modeset=1 Then I got the black screen. I logged in to the system using SSH. The system became extremely slow after loading the module. The attached file is the output of dmesg after loading the radeon module.

Yes, Catalyst has been the only driver that has been working for me so far. I don't believe the radeon driver was working before either, I remember having a similar problem when I upgraded to 15.10. Thanks for the debugging tip. However it didn't work. Immediately after running the modprobe command the screens go blank, lose signal input, and then after about 5 seconds the machine reboots. After logging in again, I found that dmesg didn't have a chance to pipe its output to the file either.
