I think I'm suffering from the same problem. I have the same machine (including graphics card) and the OS says it has to run in low graphics mode. When I try to run in that mode, it sends me to the terminal. If I choose recovery mode, then bail out and choose "resume normal boot", then it does load the OS just fine (presumably without the graphics driver loaded).

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Which driver have you installed? A tried to install the latest stable catalyst driver, from the website of AMD, which should support this video card, but after I installed this, I can't see the login screen, only a cursor on a blank black screen...
