Cannot complete installation of 10.04 - BUG: soft lockup
Trying to do a new install of 10.04 on a computer that was previously running XP.
AMD Athlon
512MB DDR200 RAM
Two hard drives
I download Ubuntu and created a bootable CD for the install. When I restart, it runs through many lines, but gets hung on this:
BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 61s! [plymouthd:1069]
This line repeats forever with an increasing number in front of it in brackets: for example -
[ 150.324002] BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 61s! [plymouthd:1069]
[ 215.824002] BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 61s! [plymouthd:1069]
[ 281.324002] BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 61s! [plymouthd:1069]
[ 346.820002] BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 61s! [plymouthd:1069]
[ 412.320002] BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 61s! [plymouthd:1069]
I cannot get the keyboard to respond, and so I have to do a hard powerdown. Restarting the load on reboot results in the same error.
