[Launchpad Bug Tracker <865976@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

i've upgraded from 11.04 to 11.10 and cannot get the system started properly any more. When I pass nomodeset to linux kernel, it boots ok, but at some point I get a
Starting load fallback graphics messages ... [failed]
and then a long list of processes being stopped (GDM, sound system ...)
it is possible to log to a text console and startx manually, although the
unity session is broken (no menus at all, only desktop, but i can get terminal started)

The computer has bot an intel and a radeon graphics card, which might be the
source of the problem. it also has an unsupported wireless card, which I have to
patch manually for every kernel revision, but that works ok.

result of lshw and lspci is attached.
thanks.
