I'm getting the identical error as Mike: "MP-BIOS" croaks quite early on
in a qemu-x86_64 boot of a Ubuntu disc.
In my case:
qemu-system-x86_64 -cdrom isos/mini-x86.iso -boot d
If I enable "Command-line expert install" I get slightly more detail:
MP-BIOS bug, trying to set up timer, found apic 0 pin 0, failed.
==> "trying to set up timer as Virtual Wire IRQ..." then it hangs.
(A second point: I'm using a wireless PCI card as my main Internet
connection. I know that most wireless drivers don't support bridging,
which affected my VirtualBox install. I can't imagine it's related. but
it's a point to consider.)
