MP-BIOS bug: 8254 timer not connected to IO_APIC
this pc was a throw away
I tried to install 2 different MS OS"s on it and couldn't get past a BSOD both times.
I had Ubuntu on it and it ran ok.
I wiped Ubu and installed arch to force myself to learn
and I am learning.... I just read my first errors.log....whoopie
My question... this bios bug has no fix from Dell . My last check at Dell support, found that they are aware of it but do not intend to issue a fix
at this time. no new flash its over 5 years old.
MY question is will this timer not connected to IO-APIC be a problem with Arch
Thanks
same log also reads i2c i2c-3: sendbytes: NAK bailout:
I am a noobe.... but... I believe I need to move this post to kernel and hardware support.
I THINK i found the answer...apend noapic to the end of the boot options
I gotta study grub and do this I think ..but toolate now have to wait till tommorrow.
I'm a gonna mark this solved any way.
Thanks everyone who looked and tried
