Linux Mint on Gigabyte GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3

I tried to install Linux Mint on a desktop with Gigabyte GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 motherboard with its Intel raid array configured with two of three hard drives.  I wanted to install Linux Mint 12 x64 on the third drive.  When trying to boot, I got the error message:

udev timeout killing /sbin/modprobe -bv pci:

I had to add the grub option of nomodeset as a kernel paramater.  It then was able to install from there.  Here are more details:

Boot FreeBSD with Grub

If you have installed FreeBSD (or any operating system) and a partition and then later installed Linux (or any operating system with Grub) on another partition and can't get the latter to boot the former, add this line to /boot/grub/menu.lst

# For booting FreeBSD
title  FreeBSD 7.0
root   (hd0,1)
chainloader +1

In this case, the partition was /dev/sda2 which contained FreeBSD. Modify it for your needs.
