No, I don't need a backport. I'll just wait for Zesty to be released. How do I "mark this Status Invalid?" On Mon, Dec 26, 2016 at 12:02 AM, Christopher M.

Re: [Bug 1584284] Re: Ubuntu 16.04 LiveCD does not boot on AMD A10 chip
I had to download and burn a new image from Ubuntu, because I had thrown out the original disk I used several months ago. I got the "ubuntu-16.04-desktop-amd64.iso" from the regular download page. On the grub menu I selected the entry, "*Try Ubuntu without installing." I removed the quiet and splash keywords, and changed the entry "set gfxpayload=keep" to "gfxpayload=text". Ctrl+x did not work, so I pressed F10 to boot. Nothing at all. No output. After about 20 seconds the screen changed to an even darker black and a few seconds later I got the "no signal" message from the monitor. I also tried booting without editing the command line, and the behavior was exactly the same. I also get the same behavior from the latest versions of Linux Mint Cinnamon and Peppermint Linux, which are based on Ubuntu 16.04. Just out of curiosity I'm going to see if I can download the current version of FreeBSD (which used to be my preferred *nix) and see if it will boot. At this point none of the other Linux distributions I've tried have worked. On Sat, Jul 9, 2016 at 7:25 AM, Christopher M.

Sorry, I need to proofread more carefully. It's kernel 4.7rc6.

Re: [Bug 1584284] Re: Ubuntu 16.04 LiveCD does not boot on AMD A10 chip
Luckily I had a 32 GB SanDisk USB 3.0 flash drive on hand (the one that was farkled by trying to upgrade 15.10 to 16.04), so I installed 15.10 on it and upgraded. I didn't add any programs, so this is vanilla 15.10. I followed the instructions at the link you gave and successfully installed the mainline kernel 4.6-rc6. Restarting, I successfully used the new kernel to boot into 15.10. I don't have any complex programs other than Mozilla Firefox to run on this installation, but it seems to be working fine. Apparently the problem is not in the kernel. On Tue, Jul 5, 2016 at 6:15 PM, Christopher M.

Re: [Bug 1584284] Re: Ubuntu 16.04 LiveCD does not boot on AMD A10 chip
Sorry, this version is even worse. After the grub menu the screen goes black, than after about fifteen seconds it gores even blacker, indicating that there is no longer any signal going to the monitor. A few seconds after that the "No Signal" notice appears, and after it fades everything sits quietly. At least with 16.04 there was some visible activity after the grub menu until it went black. Thanks for the effort, though. On Mon, Jul 4, 2016 at 10:28 PM, Christopher M.
