I've just bought a new AMD Ryzen/Radeon notebook (Acer Aspire 3) and I wanted to install an Ubuntu/Kubuntu 18.04 on it. I checked the bios settings and uefi was the only boot option, so there is no legacy mode what I had used with my old computer before. I downloaded the normal iso image and made an usb boot pendrive using mkusb. The boot was okay, I got an uefi type menu but after starting the kernel it paniced(?) instantly.

I've tried to boot the same pendrive on my girlfriend's Acer Travelmate with uefi and worked well.

I searched and I found that the problem is maybe in connection with uefi framebuffer but I am not sure.

Ubuntu 16.04 can be loaded with nomodeset and noacpi parameters but for 18.04 none of them are working. I tried 4.16,4.17 kernels too (replaced on live usb) but without any success. The result is totally equivalent.
