Hardware: Sony Vaio VGN-A270P (ATI Radeon Mobility 9700)

Encountered a black screen where the log-in screen should have been on
the first reboot after upgrading from 8.10 to 9.04.  The solution (found
in a forum: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1152992) was to
boot the recovery OS and then selecting the root console then
entering...

sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx*

After that, it booted properly.
