Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd

In a 2.94 Ghz Celeron with the ATI/AMD Radeon 2600XT AGP8X card (This
card is still supported by ATI), Mfg. is:
"ati2mag_RV630,PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9586"

To boot into live CD or installed Karmic Beta, the BIOS setting of "AGP
Aperture" must be set at 256 or greater.

This details efforts in finding this:

This happens on a native (default) install or a live CD.  (By using the
PC's onboard SVGA I was able to get a test install).  I consider this
important because it could possibly prevent ATI/AMD AGP graphic card
users from being able to use a Karmic Live CD, much less install it.
