I'm the user on IRC. Now that I can actually report it instead of swearing incoherently, here's what I found:
Booting Kubuntu 8.04 LiveCD. Asus M2N4-SLI (latest stable bios), AMD 64 X2 5000+ 65w, 2x1024mb 800mhz Kingston ValueRAM, GeForce 9600GT. Trying just to boot - KERNEL PANIC. Exactly the same as original poster. Trying to boot with noapic added - modprobe crashes, system won't load. Booting with quiet removed in safe graphics mode - everything appears to work. -- kernel panic on boot in kubuntu 7.04 and 7.10 tribe 2 becouse of Apic https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/125925 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
