[Bug 58255] Dapper doesn't boot on ProLiant ML350 with dual PIII 800

[Steve Smith]

Public bug reported:

Dapper fails to boot on Compaq ProLiant ML350 with dual PIII 800.
Booting it as a live CD it stops at:

[4294669.909000] ..MP-BIOS bug: 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC

Booting with notsc it gets past that and after "Configuring some
drivers..." for some time it stops at a screen with nothing but a
blinking cursor.

Booting with noapic (without notsc) gets to the GUI then _very_ slowly
loads Gnome.  After 10-15 minutes it got as far as brown desktop with a
blank top panel and nothing else, at which point I gave up waiting.

Contact me via my wiki page if you would like me to try anything with
it.

** Affects: linux-source-2.6.15 (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Untriaged
         Status: Unconfirmed
