Freshly installed karmic doesn't boot - acpi=off not set in grub.cfg

[f3a97]

Binary package hint: ubiquity

Hello,
   I've just installed Karmic on my laptop.

In order to boot, I always had to include a "acpi=off" directive to grub. Due to this fact, I've chosen this option on the Karmic CD and installed the system.

Nevertheless, the first reboot left me with an unusable system: only a blinking cursor - which I recognised as the classic symptom of the acpi=off parameter not set.

Fortunately, the next reboot grub let me modify the command line, so I added the directive and the system booted ok. Later on I modified grub.cfg and run update-grub.

So it seems that ubiquity doesn't set the boot options on the installed system.

Let me know if you need any other information!

BTW, wonderful release guys!
