I thought this would have been an FAQ/common knowledge by now ... but I have added it to the installation section (but of course, nothing prevents you from adding it there ...) > Solution: type F1 then "linux noapic" when booting Is there not anything that can be done to have a more permanent solution in the future? IIRC with 9.0 (where noapic first bit us) Juan was wanting to blacklist more machines by having people run dmidecode on problematic machines ... Also, apic problems may have other symptoms (the other common one is USB devices not working), and the problems with network cards may also only appear after installation (in the case of a non-network install). So, I think this should be referenced in the usage information too. Finally, Vince, I think you said you would format one of the entries on the Wiki the way you wanted it?
