Only the above text is all what I see on the screen then the system reboots itself. It is independent on install boot media (CD, USB ..)
System start boot OK when I set SATA controller to non-RAID mode (IDE)or when there is no disks on SATA

HW:
ASUS M4A785S motherbd.
AMD Phenom 9500 64bit 2.2GHz quad
16G RAM
2x 2TB disks RAID1 on integrated SATA controller (chipset AMD SB750)

I think the problem is with SATA RAID BIOS (the bios version is: AMD 3.0.1540.39) versus boot loader.
>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
Don't use SATA controller in RAID mode
