Update and stuff

[Passerby]

just reinstall grub.

most distros will have some kinda gui for settting up grub or you can just set it up directly via the terminal.

using a other boot loader with linux aside from grub 1 or 2 is just asking for things to go wrong since when ever there is a kernel update the kernel is installed beside the currently running one and grub's menu.lst is changed to boot with the new kernel and with a other boot loader that wont happen and it will just to boot with a missing or the wrong version of the kernel after a update.

I can boot into it now. I used the Bootloader the guy posted.

Now my problem is drivers. -_-
I let it install the latest drivers by itself, and when I restarted, I get "hardware unsupported".
Any way to fix that?

Try the drivers from ATI

This driver is for x86 HD 5xxx series

Two things.
I have a 6850
I have x64 Ubuntu

Would those drivers still work?

Unfortunately, ATI doesn't have the Linux drivers for 6xxx series yet. You can try installing the 5xxx drivers and see if it works.
This is the x64 version http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownlo.../ type=2.4.1&product=2.4.1.3.42&lang=English

I did Google it. Durr.
It's just that nothing relates to the 6800 series, which is what I have. So, why would I try to do something that would work with a 4650?
