[Bug 1201234] Re: can't boot ubuntu with crossfire

 

I tried downgrading BIOS to all versions which supports AM3+ CPU's (3030, 3029, 3027) : same behaviour.
I unplugged one of the 2 video card : same behaviour.

then I realized that, on  the first screenshot, it seems to hang after ACPI.
So instead of testing with BIOS default settings, I turned off many options, and it worked !
then I switched on those options one by one, to find that it's C1E that has to be disabled.

replugging the 2nd card and flashing to le lastest BIOS works fine if I disable C1E.
C1E support is not very important as C6 works (CPU freq slow down when idle).

kernel loads correctly, X server doesnn't work properly on 13.04 and saucy daily. but it works fine on 12.04 !
but this is another bug.

** Summary changed:

- can't boot ubuntu  with crossfire
+ can't boot ubuntu  with C1E support enabled
