That was my post. Yes, I've worked around this problem by using the 
kernel option "noapic".

The next problem is, it won't install in graphics mode, and once 
installed, it won't go into graphics mode. Apparently it is unhappy with 
the graphics processor on the DX4720-03.

The F10 Live CD hangs up on a blank screen, which I suspect is also 
related to not being able to deal with the graphics processor.

The DX4720-03 has an NVIDIA GeForce 7100 integrated graphics processor 
with shared memory.

Does anyone know how to get this to work? Or do you have hints on 
diagnosing the problem?
