Shouldn't have spent so much time in replying but sorry. I agree acpi=force works pretty well (although you will recieve a notification before a kernel boots that acpi=force is required to enable acpi). I agree with all who mentioned this in their posts (sorry for the bad citation). I suggest that one should either add the acpi=force attribute or wipe out Windows. The latter is a better option because *nix is much better. However, newbies who still depend on Windows should choose the former option.

That's all for now. Such bugs should be reported to the Kernel Team I agree.

The answer is in acpi=force.
