My AMD Athlon system used to freeze at boot time stating an APIC problem. We can temporarily skip the issue by adding noapic at the end of the boot command line.
But the problem keeps on nagging at each startup.
To solve the issue permanently edit the GRUB bootloader configuration file - menu.lst
$ sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
Scroll down to find some text similar to the ones we see at the bootup options. Here is one
Like wise we'll see many options below this one. Now we have to just add the word 'noapic'
at the end of the line "kernel".
Save the file & restart the system.
