You have been subscribed to a public bug:
When installing 12.04 into an Acer Aspire laptop that has HD Radeon 6310, it
boots to a black screen.
The same is also true for Debian testing (as of about 1 week ago), OpenSuse12,
and Fedora 15 and 16. (except when selecting "basic graphics" mode)
In Ubuntu, it was not possible to select an installation mode which would not
have booted
to a black screen.
It makes it impossible to install Ubuntu into the computer, because it makes it
impossible to get an ip address
to use ssh, or even install ssh, let alone install the driver from AMD. You
guys should check to see what Fedora
is doing differently that they have a "basic graphics" mode that works. Then
after installation it is possible to
install the driver and so forth.
A bit of Googling shows that I am not alone in having problems with this video
card in Linux.
I thought it would be a good idea to report it here.
