Hey,
I haven't installed it, but I'm trying it out by booting it with the CD. After I get pass the main screen i get something that says:

Mp-BIOS bug: 8254 Timer not connected to IO-APIC
Kernel panic - not syncing: IO-APIC + timer doesn't work! boot
ith apic=debug and send a report. Then try booting with the noapic option.

No idea what that means. I don't know a whole a lot about computers, so could someone try and explain what I should?

Thanks.

At the very first boot screen, after choosing your language, press F6 and choose noapic.

If you want to understand what it means, check

or

Hope this helps you boot correctly.
