XFX 8200, unable to install/sata

[putte30]

Trying to install latest version of ubuntu on my new computer(mainbord xfx 8200). First of all, i got 2 drives: 1 ide and 1 sata. I want to install ubuntu on the sata drive.

At first the live-cd worked fine but couldnt find the sata drive. So i had to change the bios setting to compatible mode for sata. After that the live-cd acts wierd. The first menu pops up where u can choose to install/run live-cd/memorytest etc. If i choose run live-cd/install the loadingbar starts to move and after a few seconds i find my self in some kind of a terminal.

Anyone got a solution for this?

[fffff]

i have the same problem, so now i just have it running with the ide drive, if some one could help, that would be great

I've made a basic guide where I will be detailing the installation of Ubuntu 8.10 on the XFX 8200 board. (it includes the fix for your issue)

The error associated with the SATA problem on this board is "qc timeout cmd 0xec"

Upgrading to the latest bios wont help. (yet)

I've got SATA working, and am now working on a guide for video. (which will be posted to the page above when complete)

Good luck!

I am waiting kallistifive for you to sort video. According to the xorg error log the 8200 chipset is as yet unsupported and thus nothing is detected at boot. Installing the nvidia-glx via Drivers or envy or cli results in unstable screen. Have tried everything I have found on the net to fix it but it won't play.

We need to wait for better support.

sorry for the delay, I've become a bit under the weather. The guide is up.

Thanks and good luck!
