Public bug reported:

I'm using Xubuntu in an old system, I'm concerned because other users
looking for a light OS for their old PC wouldn't be able to install or
boot the 18.04 version and above.

With kernel 4.4.0 the system boots without problem (xubuntu 16.04),
after upgrading to kernel 4.15 the system doesn't boot anymore (18.04).
This issue was present when testing kernel 4.13 too.

The install crashes with an error: BIOS bug:8254 timer not connected to
io-apic error on.

Adding any of these commands to the boot allows the system to load
properly:

-acpi=off
-pci=noacpi
-acpi=noirq

I attach the info related.
