Public bug reported:
Kubuntu Natty 11.04 freezes at the beginning of the installation (when
"kubuntu" is shown on a blue screen just before the graphical options
should be shown either to try it or to install it) on the HP Pavilion
dv6-3105er laptop when trying to install from desktop CD (both amd64 and
i386 versions were tried).
If Alternate CD is used (amd64 version was tried) then the installation
goes perfectly without any errors. However, Kubuntu is not bootable
afterwards: it freezes before graphical login. If booting in rescue mode
is selected, then it freezes after the following line is shown: [drm]
Initialized radeon 2.8.0 20080528 for 0000:02:00.0 on minor 1
MD5 sums of all used installation CDs were checked and they all were
checked for errors before trying the installations - there were no
problems here.
Also, there was Kubuntu Maverick 10.10 previously successfully installed
and working reasonably well on this HP Pavilion dv6-3105er laptop (with
the major exception of limited video card usability: only simple
integrated Radeon HD 4250 was working while advanced discrete Radeon HD
5650 was not).
This bug is probably related to the bug #727620 [Radeon HD 5650 and
5470] Kernel BUG during recovery boot and in normal boot (Hybrid
graphics).
