Hi,

We've bought 5 of these desktops and and have exactly the same problems.. It
seems that it's not possible to boot into any Linux System at all. Besides FC,
we've tried Knoppix 4.02, 5.01, Ubuntu Breezy and Edgy 6.10.

So far I've tried passing: "nolapic noapic acpi=off fb=false pci=bios" to the
kernel but none of these in any combination worked.

Did you have any success?

I hope there will be an installation at all :-)
