"The APIC is the Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller (a more
sophisticated mechanism for handling interrupts), not the clock."

No version of Linux that I have tried with "Live" disks supports APIC. Linux
is a generation behind the current state of technology.

*I* minimized Windows for a friend after installing Linux - put the disk thru
his electric shredder.

So you apply a magical fix to the ADVANCED Apic. Then ask yourself why it's
necessary if Linux is state of the art.

"The APIC is the Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller (a more
sophisticated mechanism for handling interrupts), not the clock."

Oh, get off the pot, you are stinking up the place. Your particular
motherboard has an incompetently implimented APIC, so something breaks when
it tries to run Linux. And you blame Linux. Millions of machines run Linux
with APIC enabled. (I have 10 from 1998 vintage machines to this year's)
all running apic. You bought a dud and blame Linux.

I have the same problem with ALL my most recent machines, except one Dell.

That's because you're a moronic imbecile.

Linux is not for you, dimwit. Stick with windoze.
