Public bug reported:

Enabling the ATI proprietary driver on this system results in a system
that hangs at boot.  I had to use recovery mode to remove the fglrx
packages and switch back to mesa libgl.

I suspect this is some sort of install problem aournd KMS fighting with
the ATI drivers.  It doesn't appear to me as if the ATI drivers got
started properly.
