Update.
- Got RAID 1 setup properly using AMD RAID BIOS utility.
- Installed LL 2.0 again, installer crashes with same Error 5, I/O subsystem. Going to try making another LL ISO disk mastered at a lower speed, hard disks are new and working properly so it is not that. If that doesn't work, I am stuck.
Any ideas?
- When error 5 occurs and a window telling of it is acknowledged (or was it the same window?), a window says it will generate a report to send to LL staff, this window is frozen and one cannot proceed beyond it (and so no report is generated or sent I assume). Only a system reset breaks out of this and the system will not boot (but the LL boot screen and gas gauge work, but nothing happens after that). While in the LL desktop before rebooting, can do system updates (which are quite extensive) but it does not help the situation. Also, it does not seem to matter or affect the problem if the radio buttons are clicked for updates during install and/or third party SW are checked.
- Ubuntu 14.04 LTS installed perfectly (but hate the GUI!). It recognizes my Rosewill PCIE WiFi card (has Qualcomm Atheros chip) unlike LL 2.0 which I had to resort to using a Wifi dongle (has Realtek chip) in order to get an internet connection during install.
- Both LL 2.0 and Ubuntu blow away the RAID 1 array I created using the AMD RAID BIOS utility (and the second disk is not seen by the OS as I recall). Nothing in the disk selection window (including "something else") appears to allow for a RAID disk arrangement. Have AMD RAIDXpert for Linux to install if I can get LL 2.0 to install properly although I am unsure if it will run/work properly without RAID setup in Bios using the AMD utility.
Really want to use LL on this new HTPC machine but unless I can find a way forward, Ubuntu (or perhaps - got forbid - Windows) appear to be my only options.
Would appreciate any help, ideas or direction/suggestions (and will report back about new LL 2.0 ISO disk mastered at slower write speed).
Regards,
Robert
