I can confirm this bug. - But I have managed to install Kubuntu with acpi=off.

I did a new install (first one since 2005) and had big problems to start the live-CD.
The only way the installer worked was with acpi=off and in addition using the old debian-installer on the CD. (I also removed the bootparameters "quiet" and "splash"). It was not possible to use a better VGA-mode...

Feisty now works. - But I do not have sound. - You can see my dmesg and lspci -nc here:

I've had similar problems with the latest two Knoppix versions which seems to point at the linux-source in general. On the other hand I have had not problems with a now uptodate Mepis-Live-CD which builds upon Kubuntu.
