Comment:

 Yes, but on the next boot he thinks to disable the problematic drivers.
 I'm just not sure how you could know which ones, and even their names to
 disable them.

 Anyway, as long as this ticket was open, I would like to close it as
 invalid: we have the safe-mode for exactly that reason, and it pretty much
 covers the issue by not starting optional servers like the media server
 (ie. no one will try to open the audio driver), and by forcing the
 app_server to stay with VESA, ie. the ati driver wouldn't load either
 then.

 If your disk controller doesn't work, you're stuck anyway.
