Comment 8 for bug 40093

Simply 'nolapic' is enough to get the installer to work. I was able
to successfully perform a server install. I'm not at the computer
currently, but I'm sure your options would boot as well. I will
report anything to the contrary in about an hour.

Where does this bug need to be? Is this something to do with buggy
bios, buggy hardware detection, or a combination of the two? How can
I track it down?

Thanks. Waiting for instructions.
