amd64 probs

[Gene Heskett]

Greetings;

I just bought, and I'm beginning to regret it, an HP Pavilion dv5320us, 
which has an amd turion 64 bit cpu in it.

I've tried every known method to disable the ACPI stuffs and get the 
kubuntu-5.10-amd64.iso to boot, but its a universal freeze at the
ACPI System Version yadda yadda point in the dmesg being output to the 
screen, and the only recovery seems to be standing on the power switch 
for >4 seconds.

Whats busted, or should I just give up on trying to install an amd64 
version of anything on this $1100 POS?  Presumably the i386 stuff will 
run as the FC5 dvd runs far enough to pass its self check & then dies 
because all existing partitions on this drive are primary partitions. 
leaving no room for anything else.

Cheers, Gene
