[AMD/ATI] Cape Verde XT [Radeon HD 7770/8760 / R7 250X]. When I boot from the Utopic DVD I get to the language menu and I can select try ubuntu without installing, but after a few sencods I get "BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 22s!'" and the message just repeats every 22 secods forever. I tried setting nomodeset using the F6 menu, but I got exactly the same result. This is Ubuntu 14.10 64 bits which basically seems unable to boot with that hardware. The experience was the same with 14.04, but I thought 14.10 would be better. In 14.04 disabling the video card and booting off the integrated graphics let me set nomodeset in /etc/default/grub and I was able boot with the R7 250X with the VESA driver. Installed Catalyst afterwards. === break-fix: - 16b036af31e1456cb69243a5a0c9ef801ecd1f17 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1386973/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
