And even if it does not block the installation for some reason, the
installed system would not boot because of freezing on boot with KMS
enabled. Though I only tried this with maverick->natty upgrade, but I
guess it does not count at all, if it's an upgraded system, live system,
etc, if it's kernel 2.6.38 it will freeze on radeon module, since afaik
KMS is enabled by default in all cases and upstream only fixes this
problem later, and it's not in natty's kernel yet. So I guess is affects
every possible of usage/installation/upgrade method of natty on
hardwares where it's issue - according to bug reports (including mine)
it's at least Toshiba Satellite notebooks ....
