that's not a fatal error. it's caused by a bad interaction with the
8259 interrupt controller. if you can put up with that a bit,
an install is often possible. (the bug is entirely my fault.)
the usb image should work for you. it boots a 64-bit kernel or
386/pae kernel. both will avoid the 8259 if possible, and the 64-bit
kernel doesn't even have support for one.
