I was lucky and was able to pawn the computer off to another family member with Windows installed (and I got myself an i3 based Dell that works fine). That said, I had the computer back a month ago (to clean out the heat sink and remove a virus - natch) and looked into it with an external USB HDD. Nope, hasn't changed - BUT I tried a kernel with DAL (DC) enabled - worked fine with that kernel. So hopfully AMD gets there act together and make the needed changes to get it mainlined. Given that some Carrizo based systems work fine with out DC/DAL support, I'm betting it's a BIOS bug with the power settings of the GPU.
