Title:
  Installing fglrx makes the system unbootable, even in failsafeX

Status in fglrx-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I installed  fglrx  and fglrx-amdcccle, ran sudo amdconfig --initial
  and  rebooted, and the machine hung.  Rebooting into failsafeX mode
  behaved the same. Luckily there had been a kernel update since the
  beta, so I could boot into failsafeX mode using the grub entry for the
  previous kernel and purge fglrx from there. (failsafeX didn't really
  work either, but it gave me a rootshell.)

  I'll attach whatever I found in the syslog for a hanging boot attempt.
