>Description:
Have tried to install 5.2-RC2 on 4 boxes. Have tried both the mini-install & the "boot only" iso's. The boot-only disk will crash almost immediately with an error in apic.ko right after BTX loader
finishes.

The mini-install crashes after selecting to boot anything from the initial startup menu. The box will almost make it through booting the kernel, but crashes hard with a bunch of errors...well the same error that repeats many times. These errors scroll off the screen so fast I can only make out that it is a segmentation fault that caused the problem.

I have tried to boot both of these disks on both p3 & p4 based boxes using Asus motherboards. What is really odd is that 5.2-RC1 boots fine on 2 of these boxes (didn't try RC1 on any others)
>How-To-Repeat:
try to boot from either mini-install or boot-only iso's (after burning them to CD, of course.)
