I have recently constructed a new computer and installed Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS AMD64 on it. The hardware is:
MSI FM2-A75MA-E35 motherboard
AMD A6 5400K CPU
Patriot PC3 - 12800 8GB (2x4GB) memory
Seagate 160GB SATA-6G Barracuda 7200.12 hard drive
Dell 1704FPT (17" LCD) (VGA connection via Trulink KVM)
Installing appears to work OK, but after I install the proprietary ATI driver to get to the Dell's optimum resolution, I get all kinds of errors, notably, after restarting I get:
Code:
error: hd0 out of disk
grub: rescue> _
I then booted from a USB stick with Ubuntu Secure Remix (12.10 64-bit), and ran boot-repair from the DASH. Resulting message was:
After rebooting, I get:
Code:
error: invalid arch independent ELF magic.
grub rescue> _
FWIW: I've been using the Trulink 4-port KVM and Dell 1704 with 4 other machines for at least 2 years now. Attached machines have all been AMDs, and have been running various 64-bit versions of Ubuntu (8.04, 10.04, 11.04 and 12.04) with no problems.
Any and all help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Dirk
