["Christopher M. Penalver" <christopher.m.penalver@xxxxxxxxx>]

Carla Sella, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any
activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If
so, could you please test for this with the latest development release
of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com
/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the release you may boot into with FGLRX from a Terminal
(Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux 1085187

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.12

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

Title:
  Random kernel crashes when using Xorg with radeon module

Status in The Linux Kernel:
  Confirmed
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I downloaded this Raring Ringtail ISO:  http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/20121129/raring-desktop-amd64.iso.
  I created a live non persistent USB  key with Unetbootin.
  When booting my PC from this live USB key into a live session with the above image and also with Precise 12.10.1 I get a kernel oops, see attached image-1.
  If I boot my PC from the same live  USB key, but instead of selecting "try Ubuntu" I select "Install Ubuntu" I get a messed up background with red spots and signs, see image-2.
  Even with the display all messed up I can carry out the installation, but when I boot my PC I get a red spotted and messed up backgroud, as soon as I login  to my session I get a kernel oops again - see image-3.
  If I install the proprietary ATI drivers  (apt-get install fglrx), and  reboot at least I can logon to my session but I get various crashes, so I think that the problem is related the video drivers (I have an ATI radeon HD 6670 video card).
  I am attaching a lshw.txt file with my PC's hardware and the output of dmesg, lsusb and lspci.
