    Linux Debian Installation/Dual Boot

    I am new to linux and I am attempting to establish a dual boot with Windows Vista 32 Bit and Linux Debian 503 i386-netinst. When I place the install cd into the cd drive and boot from the cd a problem occurs at "Booting the kernel."
    a message appears:
    [0.116007] ..MP-BIOS bug: 8524 timer not connected to IO-APIC
    then the installation just "stalls" and never moves past this point. If someone could help me out with this problem, I would be greatful. Thanks

    Could be that medium of yours is broken. Try debian 501 and see if it installs successful.
