    Can anyone shed some light on this problem for me? I've heard some
    people say that you have to disable the second CPU on an SMP board to
    get linux to install, but I've heard other people say it isn't true. If
    something doesn't look quite right in the above output, please excuse,
    its possibly a typo since I had to hand copy the error message, but I
    tried to double check it as I went. TIA.
