Successfully able to install and start Ubuntu 16.04 on the MP30-AR0 board using the following work-around. Note a serial console is required:
1) After starting the installer using UEFI shell command FS1:\EFI\BOOT\BOOTAA64.EFI, select 'Install' menu item and click 'e' to invoke the Grub editor 2) Change the Grub menu entry: setparams 'Install' set background_color=black linux /linux acpi=off clk_ignore_unused console=ttyS0,115200 --- quiet clk_ignore_unused console=ttyS0,115200 initrd /initrd.gz 3) Type Ctrl-X to boot the kernel and start the installation process 4) After the installation completes, reboot the system. Now UEFI should automatically boot the kernel, and after a few error messages, the familiar Linux logon prompt should appear -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1564219 Title: Ubuntu Xenial Installer hangs after a couple of minutes on Gigabyte MP30-AR0 (APM X-Gene 1) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/+bug/1564219/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
