You have been subscribed to a public bug: Tried to install fglrx drivers but installation fails. jockey.log is attached.
After installation fails I rebooted as required, but system cannot boot anymore. I only get a black screen. Tried with kernel linux- image-2.6.39-020639rc7-generic and linux-image-2.6.38-02063806-generic (current kernel version linux-image-2.6.38-8-generic is not working on my system). None of these worked. Tried with recovery mode but the system does not boot as well and remains stuck during "unpacking initramfs". To fix this I had to set kernel parameter nomodeset and uninstall fglrx manually. After that the system is restored. ** Affects: fglrx-installer (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Installing ATI fglrx drivers fails and system cannot boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/811298 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to fglrx-installer in Ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
