What were the components not recognised, can I help you in any way with
finding the correct drivers for these ?

Kernel is defintely the point where you are going to resolve issues like
what you are seeing, so I would advise as AMD has to have different
compiling flags as these might be automated as prior 4.5 (maybe earlier) I
recall AMD having additional "optimising" options in the kernel.

Indeed I wouldn't recommend it for more then running HLDS servers atm, as I
have not tested the current release for anything further, just a suggestion
if you have a "Wild side" that wants to try something new ;)
