Public bug reported:
My machine, running an AMD A8, will not boot with either Linux
4.8.0-34 nor Linux 4.8.0-32. It will boot Linux 4.4.0-30-generic.
When I try to boot either 4.8.0-34 or 4.8.0-32, this machine returns
to the BIOS screen. It does not get to a graphics log-on screen.
Is this a known issue?
I notice that on this machine, the packages
xserver-xorg-video-radeon and xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu are
installed. Should I try to switch from one to the other? If so, how do I
do that?
I suspect that this is a graphics drivers issue, because I had that
problem with this machine several years ago. It was eventually
fixed, but in the meantime I had used the fglrx drivers.
Here is the version of Linux that I can boot successfully:
$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 16.10
Release: 16.10
$ uname -r
4.4.0-30-generic
Here is info about my graphics driver:
$ lspci | grep -E 'VGA|Display'
00:01.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI]
Richland [Radeon HD 8570D]
Here is some CPU info from /proc/cpuinfo:
processor : 0
vendor_id : AuthenticAMD
cpu family : 21
model : 19
model name : AMD A8-6600K APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics

Is there any other information that I can provide?
