Thanks.
I will see if I can get an installer iso done for both Sam440ep and Sam460ex later today.
If it works ok then everyone who wants to can do a fresh install .
I will have to assume that the Sam460ex 3.16.2 kernel will work ok.

Thank you very much.

I have just added your Sam440ep Flex to the Ubuntu hardware website. 800MHz not bad.

Could you install Lubuntu 14.10 on your Sam460ex, please?

No luck with my Sam460.
As soon as the kernel is loaded the Sam460 simply reset.

Thanks for testing.
The ramdisk may be too big.
Edit:
Does the ramdisk load or does the reset happen before ? .
I booted the Sam460ex installer on my Sam440ep-flex and both the kernel and ramdisk seem to have been uncompressed ok so
ramdisk size should not be the problem .
