Bug Description
When I try and boot 12.10 from a live CD without any tweaks, it crashes on a black screen and requires a hard-reset. The only way to get around it is to enable the 'noapic' boot flag.
This problem has been present for the past couple of releases, and it'd be great if it actually got fixed. I've reported it before, but I've made a new bug report now to provide updated dumps etc.
It's worth noting that at one point it was actually fixed in the mainline kernels, see comment #7 on Bug #903558.
I also had some success with a custom kernel config file someone provided me, but I lack the skills to identify the solution from that.
I'd love to get some help with this bug. Please.

Does this only happen when you try to boot from the Live CD, or all the time?
