Public bug reported:
Hello all. I'm trying to turn an older system (P2 400 MMX) into a file
server. Before I flashed my BIOS, Ubuntu Server was working just fine.
It would give me the ACPI year cutoff error, but it still booted and
worked okay. Then I decided to reformat the hard drive so that I can run
a Windows 98 Internet Diagnostic Program in order to detect my BIOS so
that a technician would email me with the appropriate upgrade. After
successfully flashing my BIOS, I then put in the Ubuntu Server Edition
8.04.1. It took me to a boot-option screen that said this: "The Default
Installation is suitable for servers, and installs only the base system.
Afterwards, you may install additional packages of your choice from the
CD. Press F1 for help and advanced installation options. boot:" I hit
enter, and it says, "[ 25.588338] ACPI: Unable to Load System
Description Tables" and the system hangs. I even type in, "install
acpi=off" and it no longer gives me the same message, but then the
system still hangs at the first screen and fails to boot. I also tried
"install acpi=off noacpi" and this time, the screen changes into a new
one, but with only a single text cursor blinking at the upper top left
corner, but it still fails to boot.
