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

[Phillip Susi]

Your disk is currently partitioned to boot in bios mode, but you booted
the installer in EFI mode. You either need to boot the installer in bios
mode, or partition the disk using GPT and set up an EFI system partition
to install in EFI mode. This will be done for you if you choose the "use
entire disk" guided install option.

Title:
  install of 18.04 on Gigabyte 970A-DS3P motherboard with an AMDfx8320
  chip

Status in grub-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  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.
