Hi Dan,

https://www.google.de/#q=[Firmware+bug]:+AMD-Vi:+No+southbridge+IOAPIC+found

the first hit

https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2254677

already might provide a solution.

If you take a look at launchpad you'll notice the recommendation to
report it upstream, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/kernel .

Maybe it's also worth to check if there is a BIOS update available.

https://www.google.de/#q=bios+update+M5a97+R2.0+ASUSTeK

So the latest is Version 2603 from 2015/07/24. Linux isn't mentioned by
no release note of any version.

Regards,
Ralf
