I have an AMD A8-6600K/MSI G71 FM2 Board. I was getting the reboot loop when installing 14.04 LTS. I used a workaround for this problem. I will explain below in noob terms. 1. install ubuntu. Keep your mouse moving the whole time and you will get through the install. It's tough but you can do it. 2. Once ubuntu is installed, reboot and press F6 during the motherboard screen to bring up ubuntu boot options 3. boot with low graphics and networking. 4. in low graphics mode, open firefox and download the appropriate graphics drivers from AMD for your PC. Install them and reboot back into low graphics mode with networking 5. open terminal and type: "sudo gedit /etc/default/grub" and Look for this text: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" 6. Edit this section of code to read as follows: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash noapic radeon.dpm=0" 7. save changes 8. you should now be able to boot in normal graphics mode.
This workaround took me a while to figure out as I'm newer to ubuntu as an operating system, but it has been stable running constantly at full 1080p graphics for four days now without a single crash or error. Hopefully this works for more than just my system. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1309578 Title: Ubuntu 14.04 suddenly reboots when booting from Live USB AMD A8 6600k To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1309578/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
