Evening all,
This is my first time trying out linux, after getting an external hdd i thought i'd attempt running a different os and was pointed to ubuntu as a good dist to start with.
Im encountering problems installing off a cd. I get to the ubunto screen with the scrolling loader and after that I recieve this error:
"8254 TIMER NOT CONNECTED IO-APIC"
It loads a few seconds later to say:
"VIDEO CANNOT BE DISPLAYED IN THIS MODE"
Any help would be appreciated.
EDIT: Forgot to mention im running Dell Dimension 1G RAM, AMD Athlon 64 x2 Dual Core Processor 4400+, trying to install on my 500GB external hdd.
