Bug Description

I've installed a fresh new Ubuntu 15.10 AMD64, because I couldn’t install directly the 16.04.
after do a: sudo update-manager -d, the system started to upgrade. some packages shows up messages of installation errors. It says kernel isn’t functional. Ubuntu 15.10 to 16.04 (AMD A10 7850 APU with a R9 290 graphic card).
the installation sttoped and system just got unusable.
Looks like ubuntu 16.04 cant be installed as UEFI, as ubuntu 15.10 can.
