If you computer is as old as mine is you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re in for a surprise. The install (or any other of the images in the cd) doesn&#8217;t boot. An error message is shown:<\/p>\n<p>[4294669.209000] ..MP-BIOS bug: 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC<\/p>\n<p>And then it freezes. My guess was that the freezing happened because of some bug in the Kernel. In Hoary the same message was shown at boot time but no freezing occurred. I then added the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153noapic nolapic\u00e2\u20ac\u009d parameters at boot time and it booted \/ installed perfectly.
