Comment 24 for bug 494699

@SolidSlash #21: I guess you have the same problem as I had: fglrx conflicts with the "radeon" kernel module. You have to add "nomodeset" or "radeon.setmode=0" to your kernel options, i.e. get into GRUB, edit the parameters for recovery mode and add it manually to the kernel line. After getting into a root console, add the parameters to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT variable in /etc/default/grub . After that, run "update-grub" and reboot.
