AMD 8-Core, UEFI and eCS 2.1 a No Go
Roderick Klein:
With eCS 2.1 you are most likely stuck!
You need to boot the machine in legacy mode and not UEFI.
Second you need to load ACPI. But could try to load with he switches /!NOD.
The problem is its an old version of ACPI that is in eCS 2.1 and the newer version has made a lot of headway!
Also the OS2AHCI driver included in eCS 2.1 its realy the question is it will work...
So I am afraid you need eCS 2.2 beta 2...

I was able to turn off USB 3.0, but to no avail.
My motherboard is an ASUS M5A99X EVO R.20
The eCS 2.1 CD loads fine on all other machines, so while it has been used a bit, it still works OK. 8)
The eCS installation on my hard disk is using the ACPI drivers from the eCS 2.2 beta Demo CD; I can only assume that they are the same as on the eCS 2.2 Beta CD itself, (non Demo), but that might not be the case. I'm reluctant to buy the eCS 2.2 Beta CD because of that and because it may never be completed... hence hard to justify the expenditure.
I'll consider all other possibilities first... and maybe revisit that option then... assuming that it is an option of course.
Joseph M. Kempf:
The latest eCS v2.2 beta installed very easily on my ASUS A88X-Plus motherboard. The CPU is an AMD four core A10 6800K . I think I tried to install eCS v2.1 but I recall I had difficulty doing so and abandoned v 2.1 for the beta v2.2.
I hope this is helpful.
