Issue 1: The system boots and installs normally with any 32 bit OS, but when a 64 bit OS is installed the network card no longer functions correctly or at all. I'll recap the issue we ran across, and the solutions and then at the end list the kernel packages. Sorry this took so long to post, it's not just a few boards out there with these problems it's a whole bunch of them, and I've spent the past two days dealing with angry customers who upgraded to previously trusted and recommended brands. For this to work you'd probably also need some library files if you're willing to try this lengthy method I'll try and post a full list of files and dependencies. If you've tried this or something similar post again.

This is a shot in the dark but if you download the 圆4 kernel packages for 3.7.5, headers and images files, burn them to a cd or put them on an external drive install the 64 bit OS and then manually install the debs you downloaded from Ubuntu using dpkg if it installs completely it might resolve the issue.
The docs on AMD's site are only a few weeks old, the patch may have already been implemented, kernel 3.8 is in heavy testing for Unbuntu's next release I think they're on rc5 now, but 3.7.5 is available for download from the stable repositories. The kernel on the installer cd doesn't have those updates. Running a 32-bit live CD or, what I eventually did, a 32-bit install, onboard nic connects right off the bat and all USB ports work.Ī thought, following up on the post about the launchpad bug for another motherboard, I remembered that there was a nightmare of updates from the install kernel version to the most current stable release in the repos. If not for the additional USB issues, I would have lived with it like that. But unlike the original poster, I stuck in a PCI nic and it connected right away. Manually set the IP - can't ping anything. Tried DHCP - never gets an IP (and yes I checked all router settings). Checking further, it identifies the nic correctly, however it never actually connects. On a 64-bit install (or running a live 64-bit distro disc), it sees the onboard NIC but right away tells me I'm "disconnected". If the networking situation could be resolved, a backports repository might resolve the USB situation
The OP stated that when he ran off the 32-bit live cd everything worked, but when he tried to actually install it then things began failing. I'd still like to see what the machine thinks it has or doesn't have for a nic. Next question, when you attempt to install the 64-bit distro or the 32-bit, does it find the nic and connect to the internet during installation, there is a screen that asks about connecting to the internet to download updates during installation. Thanks, that helps eliminate the obvious.
