Comment 23 for bug 149573

Hi:

   I tried to boot the live cd with the option apci=off but it still hanged a little further, when opening a new session. I couldn't see anything on the screen but I heard the first notes of the Ubuntu theme over and over. I also got a message saying that my pnp bios was causing a problem and suggesting I download an update from my vendor, I'll try that. In the meantime I tried the alternate cd with the option acpi=off and it worked, though I didn't complete the installation. I wonder if once installed it'll work...
