Public bug reported: Hardware: Mac Pro 5,1 (mid-2013) Platform: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Server Details of Issue:
Though Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Server successfully installs, upon boot it stalls on trying to utilize the radeon driver. Specifically the boot process stalls with the following message displayed: fb: switching to radeondrmfb from EFI VGA This is ignored when one boots ubuntu into recovery mode then selects resume from the menu as it skips some normal checks before continuing the boot process. Additionally, if one modified the grub boot options and sets to boot the kernel with "nomodeset" and then blacklist the driver, the entire issue is avoided and the machine boots as normal. ** Affects: grub2 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1592466 Title: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS stalls during boot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1592466/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
