Description of problem:


when starting pc briefly a text message is displayed :

MP bios bug : timer 82..4 timer not connected to IO-APIC

i am not sure about terms

this message happens since kernel 3.3.0 or 3.3.1

Comment 1 Dave Hodgins 2012-04-24 21:23:34 CEST

According to http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=909367
that can be solved by adding  "noapic" and possibly "noacpi" to
the kernel options.
