I tried to get ubuntu to run on my computer from cd and got a error that my acpi was too old. 1995 instead of 2000 required. can I update my bios to get this fixed? manufaturer Hsing Tech Enterprise Co., Ltd.62-0914-001437-00101111-071595-SiS730S is the bios string and M810LR is the bios and project no. I looked for updated bios for 810lr and it said it was for piii but I have athlon? huh? Help please!!!!!!

Well, you can disable ACPI.

If you are trying to run Ubuntu from the live CD:


Highlight "Start or Install Ubuntu"

Hit F6

Type the follow:

acpi=off

Press enter



It should not ignore the fact that your ACPI is not compatible.

Let me know if that works for you.

Hi,
I'm too late, that's indeed the answer you have to type acpi=off at the boot up sequence options.

You could just get a newer version of Ubuntu ... since is is free.

I have the same issue. I try installing 8.10 on my W95 OS and get error reading boot cd.

This is known as "hijacking" a thread. Please start your own.
