Hi I am not sure if this is an ATI issue, but I have noticed that after I upgraded to Flight 5 onward, I am unable to reboot the system. Shutdown powerdown works fine, its only rebooting thats causes the system to hang at "Sending application the TERM signal" and progress bar gets stuck at just before it compltes.

Also, I am unbale to install Dapper 5 onward using iso dics, dapper just hangs at the boot splash and nothing happens, I have to hard shutdown.
The reboot and the installation problems happen with all Ubuntu/Kubuntu and Xubuntu Dapper 5+ rleases.

Note that I have checked the CD and tried installing the same iso on aother non-ATI machine, and it install perfectly well.

My hardware is HP compaq nw8240 ATI firgl V5000.

If this is not an ATI issue, shoudl I be filing a new bug report? or is one already there?

Many thanks,
S
