so ive never had an issue with a ubuntu installation before.
on this box everything fails... ubuntu 10.10/10.04, fedora 14 (x86 and x64), windows 7 x64, knoppix, centos 5.5, everything.
here are the specs:
MSI 890FXA-GD65
AMD Phenom II X2 555
Mushkin Silverline 996770 (2x 4GB) (passed memorytest with 0 errors after 3 hours)
Nvidia GeForce GTS450
Hitachi 2x 500GB @7200rpm
Corsair HX 650W
in order to get any OS to make it past a grub i have to disable USB in the BIOS
ive failed with all 8GB of memory installed and only one stick of 4GB.
ive also tried this on an ASUS M4A79XTD EVO motherboard and a Diamond ATI Radeon 5770
ive tried acpi=off noapic nomodeset etc etc etc
The only thing i havnt tried is dropping down to a 2GB stick of memory and using a different power supply
