Comment 82 for bug 57153

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ubuntu-desktop

[A64 3500+, 1gb Ram, X850XT pci-e, Audigy2]

excuse my limited unix knowledge.

I got me the ubuntu 6.06.1 64bit and burnt it on CD.

Upon booting off CD it aborts because it fails to start the X server.
I get thrown right into a shell, no login.

I was looking thru the xorg0.log

I see my radeon x850xt listed with the right busID as primary device.

But at the end of the logfile it says

"PCI Radeon Mach64 on bus 5.0.0 not found !"
"PCI Radeon Mach64 on bus 5.0.1 not found !"

(EE) no device found !!

Needless to say i dont own (never had) a Radeon Mach64.

This is trying to boot off the live-CD "as burnt" from the *.iso

this happened to me with the latest 6.06.1 64bit

- and BTW

the hints for fixes/updates are all nice and good - too bad the system is not even installed yet, it's running off the CD. So...how can i update something and replace files when it didnt even get that far off the CD to give me the option to install the distribution on an HD ?

This is some SERIOUS bug.
