when I choose installation of Fedora core 9
i encounter following errors:-

MP-BIOS bug: 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC

...Trying to setup timer (IRQo) through the 8259A....failed

...trying to setup timer as virtual wire IRQ ....failed

...Trying to setup timer as ExtInt IRQ ....failed

Kernel panic - not syncing : IO-APIC + timer dosen't work!

Boot with apic = debug and send a report.

then try booting with 'noapic' option.

PC configuration:-

M.B: - ASUS M2N-MX SE
Processor: AMD X2 5200+ 64-Bit
RAM - 1GB
HDD:- 80 GB seagate IDE
DVD Writer: - moserbear(LITEOn) 20X

kindly solve my issue to allow me to use FEDORA 9

Did you tried to install in noapic mode?

Since the error message suggest you to boot with noapic option, try it. When the booloader pops up after inserting the installation DVD, press 'E' and add 'noapic' after the previous commands already written there. Don't try to change the previous ones.
