Sorry, will give your remedy a go (didn't read entire message)... :$   ----- Original Message ----- From: eBhakta To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, October 30, 2004 6:18 PM Subject: Re: Getting connected with Linux... Nick,           Problems all 'round right now... So, yes, you did (after all) manage to get ubuntu installed... :) But when it was attempted to reinstall, the same error came up (the apic related error) as with Mandrake... So, how to turn off the apic feature during install... so that error won't come up...? Hoping all goes well.   Regards, Bhaktavatsala Dasa (Vatsala)   @ http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~vatsalaji - Hare Krishna!   ----- Original Message ----- From: Nick Rout To: clug Sent: Saturday, October 30, 2004 4:33 PM Subject: Re: Getting connected with Linux...

Same kernel-based problem as > with Mandrake etc. you need to read the instructions again! you were having apic troubles if i recall correctly. the solution was to boot the cd with the noapic and nolapic parameters. at the cd boot prompt type linux noapic nolapic for information on these and other boot parameters do precisely what the cd tells you to do - press F1 at the boot prompt! (you shouldn't need to, as I have given you the solution above, I just wanted to reinforce the fact that there is a lot of self help invoilved.) (good luck. if you are still having problems i'd be happy to meet up in town somewhere one evening this week and get the ubuntu install going again. I cannot guarantee to get the modem going though, not on the basis of the research I have done, but if we play around for a while, we may get it going. Its likely we will have to download your kernel sources, which are not on the cd. The catch 22 is getting them without the modem going, in which case we should be able to plug you into the lan at work and get what we need).   >  Too much sh#t going on in this world.
