Is it possible to install Ubuntu 11.04 on an Acer Aspire AM3920?

[P-Sign]

Hello,

I've got an Acer Aspire AM3920 (Intel Core i5) Desktop PC.
I want to upgrade my Ubuntu Maverick Meerkat to Natty Narwhal, but it just isn't working.
I've tried to upgrade two times, both resulting in a crash while installing. When I try to install it from a Live CD, I'm getting a black screen and when I press a key in the purple screen of the Live CD and select nomodeset, it doesn't work either. So my question is:


Is it possible to install/run Ubuntu 11.04 on this PC?

What graphics card are you running? You may need a different boot option than nomodeset.
Here are some others and how to use them

It's an AMD Radeon HD 6570.

I've just upgraded Ubuntu to 11.04, but in the last minute, when installing gnome-applets, my PC froze. I hope this extra bit of information is useful.

Oh, and the other boot options didn't work either...
What's really strange too, I've managed to succesfully install Ubuntu 11.04 64-bit on VirtualBox OSE...

Ok, I've installed everything fgrlx related.
Do I have to upgrade to 11.04 right now?
I've reinstalled 10.04 LTS and upgraded to 10.10 a few minutes ago.
