Most of the oddities I've heard of actually occur with both Nvidias and
Radeons although they are different drivers and not always for the same
reason.
Did you install ATI drivers?
Maybe boot with the install disk in rescue or some other way that lets
you into edit the xorg and temporarily change the Driver "ATI ..." so
that it can't find it. (Saw this solution for "nvidia" to "nv")
Hopefully that'll at least get you in to figure out what's wrong.
I did also confirm that check battery is the last thing Kubuntu does
before bringing up the login page.

All right, I finally bit the bullet and installed Kubuntu on my laptop. The

Unfortunately, the computer won't start now. When I boot, I get as far as
"Checking battery state [ ok ]", and then the computer hangs. I've done some
research and found suggestions that this may be related to the NVidia
drivers, but since this computer has an ATI Radeon card, I doubt that's the
issue. I'm booting with noapic nolapic acpi=off options, but none of those
have done a lick of good.
Any suggestions, anyone?
