Bug Description

I attempted to run the 6.06 Live CD on a friends pc using the same CD that I have successfully used on this, my own pc to run and install.

Here is the problem:

Boots OK and then at the "Mounting filesystem...." after several minutes instead of "OK" it goes into text mode and displays:
Quote:
[17179571.848000]..MP-BIOS bug 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC
[171.........]..PCI Cannot allocate resume region 3 of device 0000:00:00.0
[171.........]..hdc: ide_intr: huh? expected NULL handler on Exit
.
.
.and more of similiar info

I assume this info will continue on forever so bailed after several minutes of this.

I added pci=noacpi to the boot sequence but still fails.

Hardware is a New Compaq System:
Presario SR1930nx - P4/SATA/512M Ram. integrated ATI x200.

This appears to have been fixed in both Dapper and Edgy (see bug 38263 ) so I will close this bug report.
