------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-02-23 15:44 ------- I've tried this now--thanks for the suggestion--but it made no difference! "linux noapic" gave a blank screen just as before, and "text noapic" still gae a screenful of: APIC error on CPU0:04(04) ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: NEW creation_date: description: I attempted to install the latest mandrake 9.1 beta (RC1) on a system with an ASUS A7M266-D motherboard (identity string: 04/11/2002 AMD760MP-A7M266-D). The board was configured with a single AMD athlon MP1900+ processor IN SLOT 1 rather that 0--didn't even notice the difference when I installed it! Pressing "enter" at the first prompt after booting from disk1 of the ISO image gave a blank screen. After a few moments I rebooted, and this time chose to press F1. This time I entered "text" at the boot prompt and was presented with a screenful of: APIC error on CPU0:04(04) hence my assumption that putting the chip into socket 0 rather than 1 should fix the problem (and hopefully not break anything else)..! Hope this is enough detail...
