Error 11 keeps me from initializing Arch

Hi.
I've been trying to install Arch Linux in my desktop, but there are a couple of things that make my attempts fail.

First, when I run the Arch Live CD and try to install it, it gives me this error:

Kernel panic - not syncing: IO-APIC + timer dosen't work! try using the 'noapic' kernel parameter

When I edit the grub line (in the end of the line i write noapic) for booting the cd, I manage to install Arch, but then, when i try to boot the system, it gives me
Error 11 : Unrecognized device string
and this happens whether I change menu.lst to include noapic or not.

What can I do in this case?

If it helps, I've got an Asus M2N-MX SE Plus motherboard with an Athlon X2 4050e.

Please list your grub config file.


Windows was made for looking at success from a distance through a wall of oversimplicity. Linux removes the wall, so you can just walk up to success and make it your own.

Problem solved. I noticed that he "broke" the kernel line into 2 new lines, and that prevented grub from initializing Arch. After I corrected it, it worked like a charm.Thanks anyway.
