My hardware: 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Juniper XT [Radeon HD 5770] [1002:68b8] (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: XFX Pine Group Inc. Juniper XT [Radeon HD 5770] [1682:2990] WORKAROUND: Use one of the following kernel parameters: nomodeset radeon.modeset=0 The machine will boot but the radeon driver will not load. Attempting to load radeon driver with `sudo modprobe radeon modeset=1` after booting with modesetting off results in the same fail state explained above.
