Ubuntu not compatible w MSI A88XM-E35 MoBo ?

[Bib]

Hi
Needing to clone my IDE 14.04.5 boot drive to replace with a SSD I made a livestick which loop reboots.
The Mother Board is MSI A88XM-E35 with APU A8-5600K. I updated the MoBo to latest BIOS V30.6 with no help.
I get this :

Missing parameter in configuration file. Keyword: path
gfxboo.c32: not a COM32R image
boot:
TAB
live live-install check memtest....
boot: live
[0.024700] [firmware Bug]: AMD-Vi: IOAPIC[0] not in IVRS table
[0.024778] [firmware Bug]: No southbridge IOAPIC found in IVRS table
[0.024807] AMD-V i: Disabling interrupt remapping

then the PC reboots

Same with 14.04.5 iso. I wander how I installed this system ??? This 14.04 was the only that gave the usual options on boot with ESC : I tried all F6 options at a time and also noacpi noapic nomodeset

[Bib (bybeu)]

I found this that may be related, but I don't know what to do with these info : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1355044

[Bib (bybeu)]

Is there some place to find an iso of 14.04.0 or .1 please ? 14.04 links I found all target 14.04.5.
Thanks

[EDIT] The 14.04.5 stick I made from the same machine running 14.04.5 still crash but in a different way : hitting ESC to get the live menu show the options, but even selecting nomodeset, "Try Ubuntu without install" immediately ends in kernel panic

[Bib (bybeu)]

[EDIT] I reached to boot the 14.04.5 stick using the following sequence :
ESC->choose language with arrows keys->Enter->F6->down key to nomodeset, hit space bar, ESC, TAB, type nomodeset at the very end of the boot options line, just here where the cursor now shows -> Enter

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v4.13 kernel[0].

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".

Thanks in advance.

Hi Joseph
I don't know how to do that as the need for nomodeset seems to be required from LiveUSB 14.04.5, i.e. my yet installed system is running 14.04.5 without nomodeset in /etc/default/grub.
Whatever I gave a try to 4.13-rc1 on my system and it could start when selected from grub menu without requiring nomodeset. Please feel free to set tags as you feel it's best, but this test doesn't say why LiveUSB XU16 and U17.04amd64 failed... maybe I didn't hit ESC on them to get the usual menu so I couldn't have the idea to come back for nomodeset...
I'll try to see, redoing the stick.
Bye

The same problem with Kubuntu 17.04 AMD64. It crashes when I'm trying to start Kubuntu from live-USB menu.
