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

[Steve Smith]

** Description changed:

  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.
+ Let me know if you would like me to try anything with it.
