I had the same problem when trying to install the Kubuntu 8.10 x86-64 distribution.
The installer (image burned on a cd) opens the language dialog, after selecting the language the "[0.004000] Aperture beyond 4GB. Ignoring." appears on screen and the installation seems to hang. (I didn't try a text mode installation though). The computer in question was the following... - Processor Athlon 64 X2 4850E - Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-MA69VM-S2 - Memory: 2x1GB DDR800 (running on 667MHz dual channel) - Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 500GB (SATA) - Maxtor 80GB (PATA, IDE slave) - Plextor DVD/CDR (PATA, IDE master) - Graphics card: ATI X800XL (PCI-E) One thing worth noting might be that the motherboard is supposed to have an integrated graphics chip, but that was disabled from BIOS and the PCI-E card was in use. -- "Aperture beyond 4GB.
