Re: LiveCD's don't work

old blog at http://computerroriginaliascience.blogspot.com/2007/01/installing-linux-on-dell-optiplex-320.html
suggest to boot with the pci=nomsi kernel parameter (F6 in Ubuntu I
think to edit boot parameters). But according to this blog, expect
others problems after that.
This is suppose to fix: The SATA hard drive was not recognized during
the install.

Many says that you are better to use lilo than grub with this computer.

http://forum.ubuntu-fr.org/viewtopic.php?id=86689 suggest to use:
irqpoll psi=nomsi pci=noacpi nolapic noapic
but maybe this in too much restrictive.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.22/+bug/138305
seems to suggest to use:
hpet=disable

Hope this can help you... don't hesitate to give feedback!
