7.2 panic during installation : AP #1 (PHY# 1) failed !

[Manish Jain]

Hi,

I got a brand new system today with an AMD quad-core Phenom 
processor and a Gigabyte board with a 780G chipset.

When I boot from the 7.2-Release-x86 DVD, I get the following 
welcome message (after some initial diagnostics) :

ACPI APIC Table: <GBT GBTUACPI>
AP #1 (PHY# 1) failed !

After this, the system prompts for panic (y/n). Accepting y leads to 
  a bye-bye, and entering n leads to a "PHY# 2 failed" message and 
another panic prompt.

What is this supposed to mean ?

Thanks for any help.
