Hey guys,
I just got the new AMD Kabini platform. Tried installing 14.04 and I get to the "Try/Install" screen, but no matter what I chose after 2-3 seconds screen goes black. I can hear the computer running so it seems like the graphics driver is not loading but everything else is. I tried the NOMODESET option and it did not help. I can see some debug info flying on the screen but it disappears after 2 seconds, it's too fast for me to actually see anything going on.
I also tried Ubuntu 14.04, Ubuntu 13.10, Xubuntu 14.04, latest Linux Mint and XMBCBuntu and it's the same issue. I can only get to first screen when booting off of USB stick. I have Safe Boot disabled in the UEFI BIOS.
Here's the hardware
AMD Athlon 5150
ASRock AM1B-ITX
4GB RAM
I was able to install Ubuntu with no issues using my old GeForce GT210 but I need this card back in my other PC. Any suggestions how to make Linux work with this APU?
