i have a gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD7 and a newer GA-990FXA-UD3 motherboard that won't boot into linux from a USB key. i have two slightly older UD3's that will boot with no issues though.

i'll install the image on the usb drives, but when i try to boot i'll get a black screen that says "boot error"

installing windows from a usb drive works fine, and the same linux build installed to an ssd boots just fine.

anyone else have experience with this issue?
