Public bug reported:
brand new ssd samsung evo 850. new to ubuntu and found i had to format ssd so
to get working in efi (uefi ) on asus f555ua machine. formatted ssd using
windows 10 via usb connection.
uefi does not recognize the actual ssd and cannot now wipe using samsun
software which seems to be only way (must be connected via laptop internal
connection and no other pc to use to do so here).
in order to even think of installing ubuntu editing grub at initial start up
adding "pci=nomsi" is required to left of quiet splash (there is a forum
stating so also - trouble installing ubuntu on asus f555ua or such. have
ubuntu16.04 dual booting with win 10 pro onstock 1tb hd (non ssd) and now
networking problem (as in disconneted all time and no code to get working in
terminal) along with some botched install of two stage shut down (log out then
again shut down) but ... besides that other problem i am trying to install
ubuntu16.04 via the sd i am mentioning here. unsure if selecting erase
everything will fix the problem.
another thing i now remember is warnig saying started in uefi but a os or so
may be installed via bios (see uefi not recognizing the ssd samsung 850
preformatted using windows in above statement), tried making a root partition
of 20gb and rest a home partition. warned i needed some setting to efi in boot
loader but only option is sda or sda1 - one is longer in words but neither
state efi or uefi. Ubuntu install claims it is a bug so i will treat it as
such.
sory i am such a mess as describing problem. going to hook up other hard
drive via external usb and boot if i can along with samsung in internal
connection and hopefully wpe it. first time i did a ssd was in a hp with
14.04 and that machine finally died (bios not uefi) so i am back to new
and with a thousand dollar paperweight for last year so far.
