From testing, it turned out to be a BIOS setting and some things that |
| 16 |
isn't supported in 64 bit Linux. Basically, you have to hack your way |
| 17 |
into getting something to work. If I could pass the right option to the |
| 18 |
kernel on sysrescue then it would likely work. As it is, without that |
| 19 |
option, it is failing because the hardware is not supported. Again, |
| 20 |
that is based on what I did and what resolved the issue. I plan to test |
| 21 |
that sysrescue option soon because something could happen that I need |
| 22 |
that to work. |

It's a Gigabyte 970A-UD3P and it seems to be a known issue as well. |
| 36 |
Note the 970A-UD3 is the same mobo. The P stands for extra copper to |
| 37 |
dissipate heat better. |

Also for everyone else, I just looked, it appears the BIOS version on |
| 40 |
the website is the version currently on the mobo. So, no upgrade |
| 41 |
available it seems. It's looking like I either live with a hack job or |
| 42 |
swap for something else. |
