@Matthew You're definitely experiencing a different problem. The fglrx package failed to build the kernel module. Maybe you're missing the headers for your kernel?

[Bug 552644] Re: Lucid Lynx 64 bit nightly build hangs on boot
@Alberto, Matthew: I don't think it's a problem with the kernel module. Matthew's lsmod command actually shows that the kernel module is loaded. The error messages are from the Xorg log. It's the user-space fglrx_drv.so that can't be found. Maybe Xorg isn't looking in the right place for some reason. @Matthew: It would help if you filed a new bug report including all the relevant configuration and log files. You can use ubuntu-bug fglrx from a terminal to compile all the log files automatically. -- Lucid Lynx 64 bit nightly build hangs on boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/552644 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Ok, some very limited progress: The latest updates at least now let me get to the rescue prompt and start a safe mode X without having to uninstall fglrx. But fglrx is obviously not working properly. This is after I blew everything away and started fresh from a Beta 2 CD, so the there truly is a problem with fglrx and my GPU, there was no configuration left behind.

NO JOY - Please see inline paste of more /var/log/Xorg.0.log /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/default/grub following my comments. Posting this from other machine - after fglrx is installed and the system shut down and restarted, hang on boot with black screen except for single underline cursor in upper left corner. I don't know why it showed as being uninstalled before, the other Xorg.0.log must have been overwritten when the driver was uninstalled. To be sure that didn't happen this time, I am copy/pasting while the machine is still up with a hung console. Regarding Alf's comment: after these logs were pasted, I verified the power button (not reset) does indeed shut the system down if held in while the system is in this state. htop reports 136% CPU and 0.1% MEM on PID 1465 owned by root: /usr/bin/X :0 -br -verbose -auth /var/run/gdm/auth-for-gdm- sLHaIA/database -nolisten tcp sudo ls -l /usr/lib/xorg/extra-modules/modules/drivers/ total 9120 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9337664 2010-03-30 23:28 fglrx_drv.so more /var/log/Xorg.0.log X.Org X Server 1.7.6 Release Date: 2010-03-17 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 Build Operating System: Linux 2.6.24-23-server x86_64 Ubuntu Current Operating System: Linux Lochley 2.6.32-19-generic #28-Ubuntu SMP Thu Apr 1 10:39:41 UTC 2010 x86_64 Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-19-generic root=UUID=8734a3a4-ed2c-4b1d-9a7f-9ece9ddc3e26 ro quiet Build Date: 30 March 2010 10:29:28PM xorg-server 2:1.7.6-2ubuntu1 (Timo Aaltonen tjaal...@ubuntu.com) Current version of pixman: 0.16.4 Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org to make sure that you have the latest version.
