Bug Description
The standard recognition automatically load and installs the SMP-Kernel for the Medion MD41300 which has Hyperthreading enabled.
Solve it,
By disabling HT in the BIOS the standard kernel will be loaded and the system can be installed.
Possible solution for Edgy Eft,
automatically check if the mainboard is an medion md41300 one and than disable SMP even when HT is enabled in the BIOS.
BTW: Ubuntu Dapper Drake has no problem with enabled HT.

To post a comment you must log in.
Are you booting with ht=on? We have hyperthreading disabled by default, so it should not be allowing ht to be enabled.
What exactly is the failure you are seeing with the -generic kernel and this HT system when HT is enabled in the BIOS?
