Hi Bryce,

I've just got into Linux this year after long hiatus started with Maverick
and as such still have getting used to all the components within. Alas
forgive me if I maybe wrong in submitting bug, especially considering this
my first submission.

I currently using Athlon 64X2, MSI motherboard, 780G ( i believe so) with
integrated Radeon 3200 256MB shared memory. Basically when I boot Natty,
either Live CD or Hard disk at some point it will stop, crash and restart
the pc. I can't remember at what point the Live CD will crash ( I may retest
when I got home and revert back to you on that), however for disk boot once
it reached GDM (login page) it will crash, stop and restart the pc. This is
my observation:


   1. This problem noticed exist since Maverick ( I can't gauge for previous
   distros as that's I've started with)
   2. I've also face the same problem in Linux Mint 10 (maybe since it's
   Ubuntu base)
   3. It only works (for me) if I put my Android in USB drive, in shared
   tethered Internet mode. The boot process will crash if it's in other mode
   (charging, disk dive or sync). In fact even if the phone is in internet
   mode, but not shared, the PC will crash. That's what made me assumed it's
   internet related or in this case, needs internet connection for success
   boot.
   4. It crashed during boot process only. If I were to disconnect the phone
   after successful boot, it didn't crash.
   5. Since it crashed at GDM, I can't test booting in Classic Desktop
   6. Ironically the problem cease to exist if I upgrade to proprietary
   fglgx AMD driver (for both natty and maverick) in which case I didn't need
   to have my phone connected every time it boots. I currently have a working
   maverick with it installed and working fine. I've also have once installed
   the proprietary driver in Natty, it works and the PC didn't crash. However
   since i face with horizontal tearing, I've removed it and the problem
   reverts back.

It's not a big deal to me as I know the solution to it but I've seen the
problems logged onto forums. Since I still getting my feet wet in Linux
after long hiatus, I'm not really sure what, how or which log to submit.

Thanks.
