Finally installed Natty, but also still have this same problem. I can confirm that pci=nomsi fixes the problem, as does acpi=off and nolapic. Installed the intel-microcode package, but this doesn't change anything. Maybe I need to do more than just installing it, but I'm not sure what. In any case I can live with booting with pci=nomsi.
As an aside, installing a non-ubuntu kernel does fix the problem (I was using the liquorix kernels no problem) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/626622 Title: daily maverick live cd won't boot with acpi on -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
