New question #78715 on Ubuntu:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/78715

I'm trying to run the Ubuntu Live CD on my Dell Inspiron 1525 and I keep  getting the following error message:

PnPBIOS: Warning! Your PnP BIOS caused a fatal error. Attempting to continue
PnPBIOS: You may need to reboot with the "nobiospnp" option to operate stably
PnPBIOS: Check with your vendor for an updated BIOS
PnPBIOS: get_dev_node: unexpected status 0x28

I've looked around on various posts on other websites reporting this problem, and what I've found is that you're supposed to change the Plug 'n Play option on your BIOS menu to "no". But when I go into my BIOS menu, there is no option for PnP. 

It still loads into the Ubuntu start-up menu (where you select which mode you want to run the Live CD in). I try to load it in the normal setting, and it goes into the loading screen. It gets maybe a 6th of the way, and then stops.

That's about all of the info I can provide on the subject. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.
