My setup:

AM1H-ITX mother board

AMD 5350 CPU

Crucial Ballistix Sport 4GB Single DDR3 1600 MT/s (PC3-12800) CL9 @1.5V UDIMM 240-Pin Memory Module BLS4G3D1609DS1S00

I am having troubles installing a linux OS. I tried openmediavault, Debian, Ubuntu, Freenas, all have problems. Generally I can get to the "install" screen of these distros, but once I start install, I get a "kernel init" error.

If I take the same image (xxxxamd64.iso) and put it in my other machine (also AMD) I can install the image fine using the same USB stick. I thought I had a hardware problem. Ordered a new CPU and motherboard, same issues.

Memtest is fine.

I upgraded the UEFI to version 1.5, Same issue. Downgraded to 1.2. Same issue. This is not my first rodeo - I have done this sort of thing on on AMD platforms, raspberry pi, i386, Alix platforms, always no issue.

Also tried same distro on a CD (took the optical drive out of another machin) - same problem.

Tried installing the image using my main computer (AMD64) installed fine on the SSD - moved the SSD to the asrock platform.... would not boot.

Any thoughts?
