I'm not sure if anyone is having the same problem as me. With the recent upgrade kernel, my ATI driver can no longer work. After upgrading to the new kernel, upon reboot I would get stuck at the "checking battery status" and can't boot into kubuntu.
I'm running Kubuntu 10.10 64 on intel i5 with radeon hd 4870.
So I thought I messed something up since I was fooling around with conky script the day before. I did a clean install of kubuntu 10.10 64 and reset all my settings and my files. At this point, everything works smoothly and I can reboot multiple times without a problem.
I proceeded to install the Radeon catalyst driver following the documentation, which worked perfectly for me on the previous kernel. After rebooting, I can no longer get pass the "checking battery state" black screen. I had to boot into safe book, uninstall all fglrx and also delete xorg.conf to be able to boot back in normally.
Any ideas? I would really like my driver to be up and running.Please tell me what logs to post as well thanks.
update:
ok I have solved this problem. What worked was directing downloading the driver from ATI website and than directing running the install script. Before I was downloading the driver and building the debian packages and than installing according to the install documentation. I'm not sure why it made a difference, but thanks for those that helped!
