I tried it again today.
This time used nolapic instead of acpi=off and it worked.

There still is a major dealy at this point:

Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.20
end request I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0
end request I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0
Buffer I/O error on device fd0 logical block 0
end request I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0
Buffer I/O error on device fd0 logical block 0

But then the system comes up just fine.
The battery of the laptop was recognized just fine and also sound and extra-keys (play, pause, skip, etc)
worked.

This still is somewhat of a regression compared to previous versions of Ubuntu (I started with breezy) but I guess I can/will have to live with that.
So I guess fesity is actually going to happen for me/us as Asus M2400N users too. :-)

Keep on rocking!
