Its been years since I've had any involvement with Linux but
I thought I'd try Ubuntu on a bootable USB drive for fun.
I first tried with ubuntu-20.04-desktop-amd64 / Rufus and the boot failed
and the pc froze. So I decided to start over with ubuntu-20.10-desktop-amd64.
I downloaded the iso and created the bootable usb with Rufus. All went
well until I booted off the usb. The booting would initiate and then would
freeze up 30 or 40 seconds later. I tried it 3 times and the boot up ended
with different errors each time. I ended up formatting the drive and creating
a new one using 'Universal-USB-Installer-1.9.9.8'.
The freeze up happened again and ended with the errors:
ataB failed to resume link ... (SControl)
AHCI controller not available
I'm inclined to call it a day but thought I'd reach out to see if I am doing
something obvioiusly wrong.
