This bug affects me on Ubuntu 16.04, but not on 15.10 where the fglrx drivers are still available. I have the graphics card A10-8700P APU "Carrizo" on my HP ProBook 455 G3 laptop. Like Joshua above, but only on 16.04, I can only get past the black screen if I boot into low-graphics mode with the nomodeset parameter.

However, in my web search regarding this issue, I found a recommendation at https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=117591 Comment #7, to append "amdgpu.runpm=0" to the kernel command line in Grub setparams. I'm going to try that with the Ubuntu 16.04 LiveUSB and report back.
