I have continued to research this issue. In the meantime, I have also upgraded to Ubuntu 17.10 and the issue persists with kernel 4.10.0-19.
My research eventually turned up this thread containing a workaround for the problem: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=221391 Kernel 4.10.0-19 will boot correctly with the radeon driver loaded and functioning by adding the following kernel parameter to grub: radeon.dpm=0 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1671291 Title: Kernel reboots immediately after grub Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: The last correctly working kernel version was 4.8.0-30 There is no text or diagnostic information printed by the kernel prior to reboot. All newer kernels will only boot with the nomodeset option (recovery mode), but then AMD graphics drivers don't load and video performance is poor.
