Failed installing ubuntu 8.0.4 on HP Pavillion

Asked by djdashi

Hi.

I have tried installing Ubuntu 8.0.4 with no success.
I have a system running windows xp and I have a free partition (11GB) when I want to install ubuntu (dual boot).

When i booted from the cd and tried to install ubuntu I got the error:

Booting the kernel.
[ 42.02938] Kernel panic - not syncing: IO-APIC + timer doesn't work! Try using the 'noapic' kernel parameter.
[ 42.029572]

After this I tried adding the noapic option on the Boot Options (after pressing f6).

I got the Ubuntu logo.. and after thet I got this:

BusyBox v1.13(Debian 1:1.1.3-5ubuntu12) built in shell (ash)
initramfs

Any help ?
Thank You

Was this using the desktop "live CD" for 8.04?
Have you tried using the Alternate CD by clicking the checkbox and downloading from

http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download

Can you help with this problem?
