I experienced this same problem trying to install Ubuntu 6.10 AMD 64 version. I get a kernel panic message. I posted this in the Ubuntu forum as well. I disabled acpi in the Bios to permit the install to work. This is a new build
The hardware is as follows: Biostar Tforce 550 Motherboard for AM2 AMD A64 X2 3800 Wintec Memory 2x512 MB (1GB) Maxtor 40gb IDE drive Samsung 500gb SATA2 drive Biostar V7102GL26 Video card (GForce 7100) DVD drive Its not clear how you would also go about using the noapic option in the CD install. Never did figure that out. Regardless there is a problem with running with APIC enabled on my system -- MP-BIOS bug on Asus Pundit1 AH2 (Kernel panic) https://launchpad.net/bugs/76989 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
