Hi Fred, Yes I do speak French, but for the benefit of those who don't, we shall continue in English :-) You may want to search the Ubuntu forum for "MP- BIOS bug: 8254 timer". I got many hits. I just listed a few examples. There are very recent posts as well, so others keep running in this problem.
I would cover the basics, like most up-to-date BIOS, good memory sticks and so on. Run the memory test from Live CD, I notice it loads a simple Linux kernel to do so. You can also load a non Linux OS, just to ensure the hardware is OK. Unplug any non essential hardware or USB device. You can also boot in recovery mode (if you get that far) to avoid any graphics issues. The objective is to get a "simple test case" that we can submit to development. I was looking at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProcedures written for those who want to report a bug, and there is a BIOS check tool which may help. I would recommend trying with Intrepid (8.10). I have a spare partition should you find something you want to compare. No need to ruin your Holidays for this!
