Installing Ubuntu 9.10 on TA790GX XE + AMD Athlon II X2 245 Regor [01262272994]
Ingrid's organization got a grant
to pay for all-new desktop PCs. The systems aren't particularly cutting-edge,
so I didn't anticipate problems installing the systems. To my horror, 32-bit
Ubuntu 9.10 consistently blackscreened when trying to boot the live CD.
Booting without 'splash quiet', the last message was the unhelpful "Disabling
lockdep due to kernel taint". Short answer: boot Linux with 'nomce' and/or
install a BIOS update. Read on for more details.
