Update:
Wow guess what?!
After installing this over and over again trying different things I just happened to switch the VGA cable from the monitor from one card to another - EUREKA..!
SO when it looks like it is hanging here:
"CPU0...
CPUFreq Utilities: Setting ondemand CPUFreq governor..."
ITS NOT! That just stays there looking like you are frozen - meanwhile mate or gnome or whatever you are doing switches to another card and is probably displaying a login screen that you cant see.
So for example if i have 5 HD5830 cards and I start the install process with my monitor plugged in to GPU 0, once I get the CPU message i just move the vga cable to the next card and the login screen is sitting there waiting.
This persists through reboots so I never have to change the cable again.
I have created a procedure that successfully works with 14.04 and mate.
Its really rough and patched together from other procedures and lots of trial and error but it may help someone.
I will post as soon as I have a chance.
