Not very surprizing.  Did you read the web page?  That snapshot is
over a year old and does not support PCI machines.  Although the
situation has improved slightly since then, you are still unlikely to
get a usable U5 configuration since we're still missing most of the
drivers for the devices on PCI machines.

Take a look at the web page for more details.
