Public bug reported:
I have a Radeon HD 5770 GPU. After upgrading to Xenial today and
ensuring the xorg radeon driver was enabled, my machine will no longer
boot to a usable state. After selecting default Ubuntu option from GRUB
menu, both monitor lose signal input and the keyboard becomes
unresponsive. Sometimes the machine will reboot on its own, most of the
time I have to hard reset.
If I add `nomodeset` or `radeon.modeset=0` to kernel line in GRUB, 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.
