Public bug reported: Dapper fails to boot on Compaq ProLiant ML350 with dual PIII 800. Booting it as a live CD it stops at:
[4294669.909000] ..MP-BIOS bug: 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC Booting with notsc it gets past that and after "Configuring some drivers..." for some time it stops at a screen with nothing but a blinking cursor. Booting with noapic (without notsc) gets to the GUI then _very_ slowly loads Gnome. After 10-15 minutes it got as far as brown desktop with a blank top panel and nothing else, at which point I gave up waiting. Contact me via my wiki page if you would like me to try anything with it. ** Affects: linux-source-2.6.15 (Ubuntu) Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed -- Dapper doesn't boot on ProLiant ML350 with dual PIII 800 https://launchpad.net/bugs/58255 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
