Subject: Install problems Ubuntu 8.10

I'm trying to boot from a cd to install ubuntu 8.10 but when I do I get
an error that says bios does not support such OS I am using a MSI K9A2
Platinum AM2+/AM2 AMD 790FX ATX AMD motherboard. Is it not supported?
What can I do to install?

Thank you,

Nikki O'Hara
