Installing Ubuntu via USB drive.

[HpPavilion]

Hello,

I am trying to download Ubuntu on my HP Pavilion because it says I need a "boot device" so I want to put ubuntu as my set OS and when I get to the menu I press enter for installation. So I when I try to do it, it comes to a black screen and it has all this stuff about timers and what not.

Then it says:

" Kernel panic - not syncing: IO-APIC + Timer doesn't work! Try booting with the 'noapic' option."

Now I really don't know what to do.

So if anyone could help me I would really appreciate it.
