Installation problem question

[Anthony J Mekel]

Regarding installing linux on a Toshiba 4015cdt..I am trying to do the same
thing (it's my wife's old laptop and I'd like to repurpose it). I am not an
IT guy or anything but am pretty adept at getting things figured out on a
pc.my question is that when I try to install ubunto 9.04 I get the message:

 

[    0.000000] ACPI: no DMI BIOS year, acpi-force is required to enable ACPI

[    7.224683] IO ACPI resources could not be allocated.

 

Do you know what I should be doing to fix this?

 

Thank you for your time and thanks for putting info up on the web for all to
learn from,

 

Ajm
