Yes, Ubuntu 17.04 64bit AMD version works fine for me. Only you have to use the second option when trying it out with live cd from DVDr or flash drive.I think its called ahci mode. After installing you must upgrade to the latest kernel which is like 4.11 or 4.10 I think.
okay, AMD does not support RAID on Linux yet
i usually have three drives: 2x SSD in RAID0 used as Windows boot drive. 1x1TB HDD with a 200GB EXT4 Linux partition and other 800GB as NTFS, access from both systems.
after a day of trying all sorts of thing, including whipping MRB on my non-RIAD HDD, i came with the following conclusions, in case someone might be interested:
1. AMD RAID controller is not supported in Linux, i tried kernels 4.4 to 4.10. and the drivers in AMD website
2. if you said up RAID0 with two drives and then leave the third drive alone (not add to the list), windows/Linux do not see the HDD disk at all, not even in device manager.
3. if you have to set up the third disk as VOLUME Array, their version on single disk usage, windows will pick up both drives but not Linux. even when installing the latest drivers available on AMD website. lol
I came up with a dirty fix to dual boot, until the day AMD releases a proper driver:
1. install raid0 on the two SSDs and raid-volume on the third HDD, install windows and all is good.
2. back up the HDD partitions and wipe the MRB. I donot know if this is needed, but i thought did it any way.
3. disable RAID in BIOS and install linux on the HDD like normal, without altering anything on the two SSDs. Linux will install and boot normally. at this stage the RAID controller will have two entries for my HDD: one AMD-RAID-VOLUME, and one LEGACY (unfortunately this LEGACY flag is not something that can me manually configured from the RAID controller).
4. enable RAID into BIOS to boot into windows and restore the partition like before, without touching the EXT4 partitions.
Now to boot into windows, one needs to set SATA MODE as RAID in BIOS and change it to AHCI again for booting into linux...and access the data in the other partitions from both HDD normally. But the RAID0 array cannot be accessed in linux, but this is not an issue for me.
Dirtiest fix i can think of, but it works. Unfortunately, this is a case of AMD not releasing Linux driver and a RAID controller that do not allow users to configure HDD in "Legacy mode". So we have to wait for those.
