Hey guys! same bios bug here:
..MP-BIOS bug: 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC PCI: BIOS BUG #81 [49...] found PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 7 of bridge 000.... I just bought the laptop, and I'm very disappointed. The vista is working just fine, but I wanna get rid if it. Tried a few solutions I found on the ubuntu forum, but none work, summary: 1.Disabling APIC from bios, couldn't find anything related to apic. 2. Tried numerous boot options, like noapic, nolapic, acpi=off and pnpbios=off 3. Tried to boot from USB, with the 64 bit version on it, failed, it said something in German... it did load with the optin: nolapic_timer nohz=off, until it said starting gnome display manager, but it is like that for 10 minutes or so, with a black screen, and then it said that the xserver is not configured... but I cannot configure it, another black screen, with errors, like: Error: Microcode "bcm43xx_microcode5.fw" not available or load failed. I'm not using any tribe cds, it's the final release of the 7,10., and another thing, i'm new to linux, so I cant figure out what are those codes you wrote down, so please, could anyone explain to me what those are if they are a solution to this bug.
