Just for testing, I´ve attempted booting a Feodra 11 XFCE liveCD (respin)
on a Gateway Connected Touchpad (GCTP) internet appliance which has
256MB RAM and a Transmeta Crusoe 400 Mhz CPU.
For the record, it´s the i386 build.

The problem I see is that on every boot, it displays "IO APIC
RESOURCES could not be loaded". Not surprising since all of the
(early) Transmeta Crusoe systems I´ve seen do NOT support APIC in the
Bios.

So the system displays that message, and STAYS IDLE, for about 40
seconds (maybe a minute) until eventually booting continues.

The questions are obvious:

#1) WTF is it doing while "doing nothing" and "thinking..."
#2) If the system detects APIC is not supported, why can´t it resume
booting INMEDIATELY, rather than "staying in the dark" for 40 secs to
a minute ??

Just wondering...
FC

pass this to the kernel at start of boot  "nomodeset" w/o quotes.
