Bug#642389: installation-reports: Garbage screen after install
I tried it again today.
Removed fglrx-driver and related packages. Booted fine untill I
actually purged them, then everything went back to the
garbage screen problem with the 3.0 kernel. Used 2.6.32-5 kernel to
boot and blacklist radeon, and update initramfs.
After this 3.0 kernel is booting successfully again.
