Kernel Panic-Not Syncing

antonfred · 02-07-2010, 12:19 PM

I am running Win XP and tried to boot a Linux based program
and I received the following message at the end of black screen :

IO-APIC + Timer doesn't work. Boot with Apic=Debug and send a report. Then try booting wit NOAPIC option.

This is japanese to me. How can I fix this ? Is it fixable ?

Thank you

The message already told you what to do: add option "noapic" to the boot options list and then boot again

Thank you very much HasC, but I don't see where that option is. I introduce the CD in D: and inmediatly there is a black screen and I see a lot of information that say they are OK, except that at the end is the message to boot with no APIC. Please guide me to , WHERE do I put the no apic option.

In grub menu just select your linux kernel entry and then press 'e' key. This will give you the 2 or 3 lines to edit and then add -noapic in the line with other options like root=..... then press enter and 'b' to boot in the kernel with modified options list.

I hope this helps.
