Problem In Installing Jaunty and Karmic
This problem occured when I tried to install Ubuntu (and Xubuntu) on my
aged laptop (a HI-GRADE Model 332).
When I try to load in the live cd it gives this message:
[ 0.152001] ..MP-BIOS bug: 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC
[ 0.168001] Kernel panic - not syncing: IO-APIC + timer doesn't work!
Boot with apic=debug and send a report. Then try booting with the
'noapic' option.
Send apic=debug report to whom?
I can boot with the 'noapic' option from the livecd, and it loads fine,
but when I then try to install Ubuntu, I get the same message. Anybody
know what the problem is likely to be? Age of my laptop?
Anyway, how do I get round this problem, so I can install Ubuntu on my
laptop?

Im not sure... kernel.org, maybe?
What do you mean you get the same message when you 'try to install
ubuntu'? does this mean that when you start the install this message
comes up, or after you install it refuses to boot with the same
message?
If the latter is the case, just edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst file and
append the boot line with noapic... something like this i'd imagine:

kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-15-generic
root=UUID=bc61271a-7951-43cb-a009-1bffa02416ed ro quiet splash noapic
sorry about the double post... I spend too much time on messenger..
