I'm trying to install Xubuntu 8.10 64-bit and I'm getting a error message before the live cd even boots
[ 0.004000]Aperture Beyond 4GB Ignoring
[ 0.004000]Your Bios Memory doesn't leave a aperture memory hole
[ 0.004000]Please enable the IOMMU option in the bios setup
[ 0.004000]This costs you 64mb of ram
so I look around in my BIOS for a while and I can find anything at said IOMMU
I installed Kubuntu 7.10 64-bit last year without any problems and I have Ubuntu 8.10 32-bit installed right now
I don't know what info would be helpful so I'm just going to post all the hardware sorry if its over kill
