Thanks pmp6nl. I would just like to add that I'm now fully up and running with 11.04 64bit on my Toshiba laptop with its HD3400. The trick was adding nomodeset on the grub boot line, which finally got me to the log in screen. Following that I have installed all recommended updates (inc a lot of xorg ones) and (taking a big risk) installed the proprietary FLGRX driver. Everything is fine. In post no 46 I may have selected nomodeset in the install as well, come to think about it.

[Bug 763909] Re: 11.04 Wont Boot With Mobility Radeon HD 3400
I too am affected by this bug (exactly as reported by pnp6nl). Trying to install 11.04, 64bit from DVD. I have a Toshiba satellite Pro, Intel Core Duo P8400, Radeon 3400. I get the flash screen then it dies. If I press F6, then I get the choice of language and the initial menu. I have tried various ACPI settings but whatever I do, the system crashes soon after I select Install. I have also tried various BIOS settings and some of the above suggestions. There seems to be no way of setting pcie_aspm=off in the BIOS. If it helps I will get a log file / dmesg but I expect you know the problem by now. Pity there is no work around after 5 months. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/763909 Title: 11.04 Wont Boot With Mobility Radeon HD 3400 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/763909/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 763909] Re: 11.04 Wont Boot With Mobility Radeon HD 3400
Got a work around for the install from DVD, at least. On the Toshiba, set the SATA Compatibility Mode to Compatability (That gets rid of the stupid emulation 0/1 question.) On the first flash screen press F6. Choose your language Press F4 and select Use driver update disc Now select install. It will ask you to insert the disk. (If you have a driver update disk, by all means stick in when it asks.) I didn't have a disk so I let fail to find the driver. I think I pressed ESC to get to the text and then return. It seemed to give up and skip the graphics setting. After that the install went smoothly. Of course, I can't get it to boot now (!) beyond the grub menu but at least I have an OS in place and I just need to figure out what I did last time I did a clean install. I know there is a new driver from ATI. The graphics resolution during the install was perfect. Whatever graphics driver it was using was absolutely fine. How can I use the same one (in the same way) during boot up? Then the work-around would be complete. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/763909 Title: 11.04 Wont Boot With Mobility Radeon HD 3400 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/763909/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 763909] Re: 11.04 Wont Boot With Mobility Radeon HD 3400
Thanks for the logs. So it seems the machine does not lock up completely once you load the module, since it kept logging for some minutes. However, it seems from Xorg.0.log that X was running when you loaded radeon. Did you stop gdm first? Otherwise X will start up, detect there is no radeon module, and do its own mode setting. Then when radeon is loaded, it will also want to do mode setting, and conflicts may arise. You can also try a normal boot again, but with the radeon.modeset=0 option. Then radeon will be loaded but not do mode setting. Then X will start, and use radeon for other things, but do its own mode setting. Also when using insmod, you can add the modeset=0 option to the end of the line. At this point, it will also be worth trying out the oneiric kernel on your natty installation. On https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux click on the arrow next to 2.6.39-0.5 then on amd64 under Builds to get to the debs, you only need to install the linux-image-*-generic deb.

Not sure if this helps, but in case you use Toshiba Notebooks, try the following boot parameter : pcie_aspm=off It seems that the BIOS of the Toshiba Notebooks is somwhat messed up and doesn't return the correct values for the Active State Power Management of the pcie devices. This results in not being able to boot in newer kernels. Switching the Active State Power Management off in the boot options will fix this problem. Afaik there is a bugreport for this already but i dunno the number of it atm. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/763909 Title: 11.04 Wont Boot With Mobility Radeon HD 3400 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

It is possible that the module loads and freezes the system before the disk is mounted read/write. You can try booting with the radeon.nonsense=1 option, then at the console (ctrl-alt-f1): sudo stop gdm sudo modprobe radeon and see if you now get anything logged. If still not, it might seem that it crashes the system immediately so nothing can get written to disk. In that case one possibility to get more information is logging over the network to another computer, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Netconsole -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/763909 Title: 11.04 Wont Boot With Mobility Radeon HD 3400 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 763909] Re: 11.04 Wont Boot With Mobility Radeon HD 3400
Hello there, I just made the update to 11.04 and i have the same problem Here is a brief explanation of the steps that occur during the boot, as i noticed above these were not clearly mentioned .. I have a dual boot setup alongside with windows 7 so at the dual boot screen, choosing ubuntu usually displayed a black screen with the boot options, which after the update is purple (and font size is smaller, not sure if that's also a bug or on purpose) After choosing the latest Generic, the boot will show up some boot text quickly and then get to the splash screen Immediately after the 4'th dot appears on the loading screen, my display would go to black, then turn on again, then back ... indefinitely In other words, the display dims over and over I did not reach the login screen yet and i have no option of stopping the loop other than Ctrl + Alt + Delete (Escape used to work before when i had a similar situation) In my next attempt, i tried going to the recovery mode to check for errors, did not get anything, and when i chose the resume option, i experience the same thing as above I am fairly new to ubuntu and i don't know what to do besides that.. If there is anything i can do to help, please let me know, i am usually online most of the day :) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/763909 Title: 11.04 Wont Boot With Mobility Radeon HD 3400 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Khalife, it seems like your computer is booting further than mine. Mine does not even make it to the loading screen, it almost instantly goes to the black screen and freezes, ctrl alt delete does not work on my computer. After your computer does not boot you should copy kern.log and post it on here so they can help debug the issues. I would recommend trying to start the computer up normally then letting it crash. Restart your computer. At grub change the command line and add in radeon.nonsense=1 Now it should boot all the way. Let us know what happens and be sure to post a kern.log for a failed boot.

Sorry about that. It seems that the kernel is not logging to kern.log when it doesn't boot all the way. I just attempted to boot normally, let it sit at the black screen for an hour, had to power off by holding the power button, and when I went back in an checked kern.log there was only the one from yesterday.

[Bug 763909] Re: 11.04 Wont Boot With Mobility Radeon HD 3400
Yes, you can install the natty kernel in lucid as well. Sometimes when
you install newer kernels in older releases you will have some
dependencies on firmware packages that you might need to upgrade as
well, but for these tests that should not be a problem.
By the way, for laptops with Radeon cards I would recommend using a
newer kernel. since the power management is much better since 2.6.35 (I
use power_profile low).
If you install natty, and you are afraid of touching the lucid grub
setup, choose to install the natty grub to the natty partition, and not
to the MBR. Then in your lucid grub configuration, add an entry to
chain-load the natty grub:
menuentry Natty {
set root=(hd0,6)
chainloader +1
}
where, of course, you substitute hd0,6 with the natty partition where
natty grub was installed.

If you have a working maverick system, I would suggest installing the natty kernel there. When selecting the natty kernel at boot, you should be able to reproduce the problem.

There really isn't enough information provided here to know what might be going wrong. However from the description so far it sounds like it's failing at initializing the kernel drm driver, or getting stuck during early parts of the boot prior to X. If you can get some additional diagnostics such as dmesg from the failed boot, that might clue the kernel guys in on what might be going wrong.

I believe you can press F6 in the CD menu and edit the kernel boot line. In addition to splash and quiet, please also remove the new vt.handoff=7 option.
