Hardware: Sony Vaio VGN-A270P (ATI Radeon Mobility 9700)

Encountered a black screen where the log-in screen should have been on the first reboot after upgrading from 8.10 to 9.04. The solution (found in a forum: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1152992) was to boot the recovery OS and then selecting the root console then entering...

sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx*

After that, it booted properly.
