Bug Description
Bottom line is, you can install the distro on the laptop by adding "acpi=force
irqpoll" to the boot, but during start up or shutdown the computer gives a load
of errors of the type:"unexpected IRQ trap at vector b8 " or "b0" for that
matter. It goes into a loop and eventually freezes.
Here are a few threads on the topic:

there are also a few threads going on at Dell Community forum under Hard
Drives,
but no real solution yet. The "irqpoll" solution is not a good one, since it
doesn't fix the problem, it rather just ignores it, and your laptop then still
freezes.
I can confirm this bug in my Dell Inspiron 1501
However, "ircpoll acpi=force" is not needed. Only "pci=nomsi" is needed. With that, you also wikidon't get any nasty IRQ traps.
