[Bug 1778379] [NEW] install of 18.04 on Gigabyte 970A-DS3P motherboard with an AMDfx8320 chip

[bert]

Public bug reported:

Said something about a boot loader problem. Loading from a USB onto a Kingston 120 GB SSD as / directory, and setting /home on a 2TB magnetic drive and a third drive as 1TB magnetic drive.
Used a 4GB USB v2 plugged into a USB 3 slot.

Motherboard is new.
chip from another board
SSD new
2TB drive already has the home directory information from another installation
1TB drive as a full boot and home drive in a previous installation and was not reformatted for this installation. It was to be reformatted afterwards.

System recognizes only half of the actual RAM available. This has
occurred on four motherboards that Ubuntu has been installed with:
versions 16.04 to 18.04. Makes not differenced what combinations of
slots or memory chips are used: half of four sticks, half of two sticks
and half of one stick, no matter what slot combination are used.
