I have several problems with the usb-driver also. I can boot the system without the noacpi option but with the option init=/bin/sh and when I load the usb driver the system freezes.
I have also tried pci=noacpi and then the system starts, but the bcm43xx module reports problems continuously and the nvidia-glx module doesn't start at all complaining about edge triggered interrupts.
I have a similar problem. I have an HP pavilion dv9000, I use Ubuntu and I can't boot the system without the noapic (not noacpi) option.
I reported the bug at https:/ /bugs.launchpad .net/ubuntu/ +source/ linux-source- 2.6.20/ +bug/112775
