I am trying to install Ubuntu on a PC with an AMD A6 A3650 4-core APU, but unfortunately at the point where plymouth should start, the monitor plugged in in the VGA port turns off, and is never turned back on.
The PC boots Windows 7 (preinstalled) and works fine.
Tried installing with Wubi from Windows, tried from LiveCD with various kernel options.
THe only option that helped me to see a bit more was the nomodeset option, but that got me only to a console complaining that my card needs KMS to work. So can't install or boot Ubuntu.
Please tell me what other info should I provide (I'll do that from the root console I get to when using nomodeset).
Using 64bit LiveDVD, md5sum checked, and is OK.

Thanks for your bug report. I'll target this to the kernel as it concerns a problem booting the LiveCD. To make this report more complete, though, please add the version of Ubuntu that you are attempting to install, and the graphics card in use on this system. After you add that to your report please mark this as confirmed so the kernel team knows its ready to be looked at.
