No, I don't need a backport. I'll just wait for Zesty to be released. How
do I "mark this Status Invalid?"

Re: [Kernel-packages] [Bug 1584284] Re: Ubuntu 16.04 LiveCD does not boot on AMD A10 chip

2016-07-09 Thread Roger Merritt
I had to download and burn a new image from Ubuntu, because I had thrown
out the original disk I used several months ago. I got the
"ubuntu-16.04-desktop-amd64.iso" from the regular download page. On the
grub menu I selected the entry, "*Try Ubuntu without installing." I removed
the quiet and splash keywords, and changed the entry "set gfxpayload=keep"
to "gfxpayload=text". Ctrl+x did not work, so I pressed F10 to boot.
Nothing at all. No output. After about 20 seconds the screen changed to an
even darker black and a few seconds later I got the "no signal" message
from the monitor.

I also tried booting without editing the command line, and the behavior was
exactly the same. I also get the same behavior from the latest versions of
Linux Mint Cinnamon and Peppermint Linux, which are based on Ubuntu 16.04.
Just out of curiosity I'm going to see if I can download the current
version of FreeBSD (which used to be my preferred *nix) and see if it will
boot. At this point none of the other Linux distributions I've tried have
worked.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1568211] Re: no UMS support in radeon module

2016-05-15 Thread Roger Merritt
I have an AMD A10-5800K (HD 7660D graphics) and have not been able to
boot with 'nomodeset.' I get an error message, "ERROR: no UMS support in
radeon module," and then in a few seconds the screen fades to black.
I've had no problem booting from my USB with 14.04 LTS installed, or
from the 15.10 LiveCD, but 16.04 seems to be hopeless. I can't even get
a log of what's going on, because booting doesn't complete.

Title:
  no UMS support in radeon module

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I upgraded overnight from Wily to Xenial. The system will not boot.
  Only a blank screen after grub loads the kernel.

  The recovery kernel loads fine and I was able to find the following
  messages:

  [drm] VGACON disable radeon kernel modesetting
  [drm:radeon_init [radeon]] *ERROR* no UMS support in radeon module!

  The recovery kernel command line had a nomodeset parameter that was
  not in the main kernel command line.

  Adding the nomodeset parameter the main kernel command line finally
  booted the system. It's kind of ugly but it seems to work.

  Note: For what it's worth I reported a similar issue against several
  Utopic kernels (bug #1407505). There was a back and forth with
  jsalisbury until a kernel finally worked. I have had no problems until
  today.

  Hope that helps.
