Later:
I have been doing some investigating, although not positive, and it seems to me that the problem with Ubiquity is also a Ubuntu problem with the standard Debian Installer, which Ubiquity is either based on or uses behind the UI. I say this because the Deb Installer will not recognize, find, my hard drives. It did find them in earlier releases.
Perhaps they are too Mac/IBM oriented to work on our machines.(?)
Thanks a lot for investigating.

ISO downloaded & burned, boots to the desktop on my x1000 with r9 270 card.
I gather the installer's not working. I've seen the install choke before with another ubuntu archive, not finding the HD.

Many thanks for testing!
We have no idea because of the problem with the installer. Maybe we could take another installer.

Great job Christian. That's worth at least 4 'Ata Boy's
Posted from Moz-FF on Ubuntu-mate on /sda4.
I did not know if the kernel you supplied would work without the RAMDISK so I used my All-in-One 4.8rc4, and besides, the RAMDISK is now on a ext4 and CFE does not like it.
Anyway, its working.
