"fixing recursive fault but reboot is needed" error

Question

I am running a 64bit laptop and i am trying to install ubuntu 11.04 from both a usb and cd. However, when I click either install from disk or try ubuntu I get to a black screen with this: fixing recursive fault but reboot is needed

Any ideas?

Solution

acpi=off this solve the booting problem

To use this option, using any editor, open /etc/default/grub

gksu gedit /etc/default/grub

Change the line – GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=”quiet splash” to

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi=off"

And then update grub

sudo update-grub
