Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati

This has happened immediately after I upgraded to Ubuntu 11.04. Kernel 2.6.38 is not booting and shows junk on the screen.
I tried a USB pendrive (USB pendrive works with Ubuntu 10.10) and I get a black screen.

After grub has disappeared the system starts booting, and after some seconds I get a screen screwed up. Cannot switch to virtual terminals and cannot connect via ssh.
With the USB pendrive more or less the same happens. After I click start, nothing else appears on the screen and the boot procedure stops.

The only way I found to get both systems start is to add nomodeset parameter. With this the system starts.
The same system starts with kernel 2.6.35 without the nomodeset parameter. Anyway, since I upgraded to Ubuntu 11.04, I'm experiencing some sudden logouts and frequent complete screen freeze when in dual screen.

The Ubuntu kernel team suggested to try kernel 2.6.39-020639rc7-generic.
This is working correctly it seems.
