i made a post on the ubuntu forums, but it hasn't been answered.

so basically, the problem is when i boot with the ubuntu install cd it boots into the first step. i get a choice between choosing a regular install, acpi, etc. but i tried a couple of choices and this error message always occurs. its like in a constant loop and i have to turn off the pc.

apic on cpu0: 02(02)

i have apic disabled in the bios and have the latest bios. i have an a7n8x-e deluxe with athlonxp 3000. i am a linux noob, but i need some help. i can be more descriptive if anyone needs more details. thanks.

Have you tried passing the kernel the apic=off option yet?

 

[SleepWalkerX]

yeah for the boot options in the ubuntu screen (where it said to hit enter) i typed "linux apic=off" then hit enter and it still didn't work. i'm doing it correctly, right?

 

[bersl2]

The option may also be "noapic." If that doesn't work, compiling a custom kernel with APIC explicitly disabled should. Are you running 2.4 or 2.6?

 

[TerryMathews]

I'm (pretty) sure that bersl2 is correct in that the argument is noapic.

IE you want to type in "linux noapic".

while having apic diabled i tried having linux noapic and even the acpi=off. still the errors continued.

not sure which kernel it uses. its the hoary warthog 4.10 though. and i'm not sure how to recompile a kernel.

i wonder what's wrong with my motherboard... should i write an email to ubuntu or asus or something? do you think that could help me out?

Some boards just have problems with APIC. All that APIC does is help assign an IRQ to a device, but it's not necessary.

Give the output of uname -r.
