[Bug 581102] [NEW] Lucid server will not boot on VIA mini-computer when ACPI is enabled

[Troy Ready]

Public bug reported:

When I boot off the Lucid server CD, I can select the Install option
without issue. The system then just "hangs" with a flashing underscore
in the upper left hand corner.

If, before selecting the Install option, I press F6 and select acpi=off,
the system boots fine. Eventually though, after installing, the computer
will randomly reboot every 10-20 minutes.

If I disable ACPI in the system BIOS, then the computer will boot but
can't poweroff without an extended hold of the powerswitch.
