A warning about this laptop and any similar with
AMD E2-9000e processor and Radeon R2 GPU.

I entered a world of pain installing Mint 18.3 on this laptop.

TLDR; You must add amd_iommu=off to kernel commandline during install
and thereafter, or you'll regret it (its absence results in corrupt
filesystems).   (At least with kernels < 4.15, not sure >= 4.15)
There are other problems with graphics, wifi, sd-card reader

Any insights gratefully received here, or on the abovelinked blog post.
