Similar thing on a Supermicro 3U server on boot (same ATI ES1000). This is just at boot up and nothing to do with X as we don't use it.

Worked around it for the moment by setting "nomodeset" on the grub command line, manually at the grub menu for the first time, then in (/etc/default/grub->GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX).

Without nomodeset, server locks up with flashing Capslock/Scroll lock so unable to get boot logs. Happy to experiment with the server to try and get logs out of it if any help to fix this (or try newer kernels etc).
