However my new upgraded home machine fails :( Hardware info: * AMD FX8120 8 core @ 3.1GHz * Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD5 AM3+ AMD 990FX SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX * 2x G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM 1866 (PC3 14900) F3-14900CL10D-16GBX (running @1600 because of AMD limitation on 4 DIMs while supports for 1866 only for 2 DIMs) * 3ware 9650SE-8LPML with 4x HDD on RAID5 * Sapphire 100292DDR3L Radeon HD 5450 1GB 64-bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.1 x16 * DVD-RW connected to a mobo SATA connection. All mobo SATAs (including eSATA) are set to AHCI, only the DVD-RW is connected to the mobo SATA. >> Windows 2008 R2 installs (requires driver for 3ware 9650SE) but refuses to installed on GPT... :shrug: >> Ubuntu 12.04 LTS beta installs (but detected my DVD-RW with acpi=no). >> F16 installs OK with troubleshooting option (of xdriver=vesa and nomodeset ?) but failed to detect my DVD-RW, even with acpi=no. >> F17 DVD install didn't went past beyond the initial UI menu, troubleshooting option or not.

For the video, Ubuntu 12.04 supports dual monitor with 1680x1050 and 1920x1200 fine w/o downloading and installing proprietary driver. F16 & F17 didn't, even with driver v12.2 (?) downloaded from AMD :(...
