One other option is to use a newer distro like Ubuntu and run it from a flash or CD/DVD.

Once at the grub menu, use the arrow keys to select the kernel line, then use "e" to edit that line. You should be able to insert the NOAPIC option, the order does not really matter, but I would just put it at the end. Of course these instructions are for GRUB, I have not actually used the voyage linux linux live CD as my laptop runs Linux natively. It might be easier to use a Ubuntu 9.04 live CD/USB (or any other modern desktop orientated distro) as it comes with a newer kernel. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkpc38IACgkQwRXgH3rKGfNGMgCZAcZ7/ieTtiF6Bn9aDe/Bdr75 87UAnRtSI4HQ74XMWCWCqdGAaGKmqEIp =P401 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Voyage-linux mailing list [email protected] http://list.voyage.hk/mailman/listinfo/voyage-linux
