How do I proceed from there?
Try changing the lilo load options to see if you are having issue with APIC
compatibility or ACPI issues.
Once you boot from the CD, hit F1 to get the options line and type in "linux
noapic" and see if your controller gets detected. You might also try "linux
acpi=off" if the noapic option doesn't work. For my money, I almost always
get good results using the noapic line, especially with newer motherboards.
