I am also affected by this bug after upgrading to Xenial and trying to use radeon KMS. My system will only boot with `nomodeset` or `radeon.modeset=0`. Futhermore, attempting `sudo modprobe radeon modeset=1` after booting with `nomodeset` results in the same error state: screen goes blank, monitor'
