Aspire one 522 won't boot Ubuntu

Asked by Daniel Landsverk

I've tried to boot Ubuntu 11.10 32-bit from USB, but no matter if i I choose to run Ubuntu directly or install it, I get the normal bunch of boot and debug-messages. It then stops at the same error/debug message every time, the screen goes black, (even tho I've pressed ctrl-alt-f1 to stay in terminal) and the netbook does'nt respond to any keypresses.

I'll take a note of the last error-message and post it asap.

EDIT: I went back and tried to boot the netbook a few times more, this time I noticed that it seems to crash when it goes from the bootscreen (logo + 5 yellow dots), to X running in fullscreen in order to show the logon screen.

Needless to say, at this point im unable to provide any log files.

When creating the usb-drive for the installation, there is an option called
"Set a persistent file size for storing changes (optional)."

I'm thinking that enabling this, and then adding some boot parameters when starting the installation from the bootscreen would enable bootlogging and store those logs on the usb-stick?

Any help would be appreciated.

HW INFO:
Aspire One 522-C5Dkk
CPU: AMD C-60 APU with Radeon HD graphics

Realized that this is'nt exactly a bug, since I dont know the cause of the problem, and I'm not able to produce any logs.

Maybe I should've posted this on the forums instead, but some googling told me that one of the drivers in Ubuntu 11.10 casuses the PC to crash.

Unbuntu netbook remix 10.10 seems to work perfectly.
