10.10 Maverick Beta [25th September 2010]

Booting from either Desktop or Alternative fails unless ACPI=off is specified.

As per workaround at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/612341, enabling ACPI=copy_dsdt allows the Ethernet card to work as well.

I assume some sort of blacklist is in place to determine which hardware should boot with ACPI=off or other options.

A video of the symptoms (on Lucid) can be seen at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOTKbrPkd94

The problem is still present in Maverick.

If you need more specific hardware info, give information on what you'd like provided and I'll post it.
