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.
