Fyi: I received what appears to be the similar if not exactly the same symptoms when I attempted to boot a ubuntu-7.10-alternate-i386.iso based cdrom on a Powerspec 7121 ( http://www.powerspec.com/systems/system_specs.phtml?selection=7121 ) box. The boot-from-cdrom process freezes/hangs at the "send a report" error message.
Is there anything I can do to get 7.10 to work on my Powerspec 7121 system? Please pardon me if my post is out of context. Further details: My error message on the text-based display: " [ 45.781270] ..MP-BIOS bug: 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC [ 46.024508] Kernel panic - not syncing: IO-APIC + timer doesn't work!
