I can confirm this!
On my Asus M2400N Laptop (1.5 GHz Centrino, 512 MB RAM) the kernel only boots if I put acpi=off as a parameter on boot.
If acpi=off is not set the grey box with "loading the Linux kernel" appears for a couple of seconds, then disappears and the machine reboots.

Having set acpi=off the Desktop-CD boots just fine and everything seems to work (except extra keys (but I haven't played around with that yet).
I am actually typing this being online with the Desktop CD.

If any further information is needed just let me know.

--> I also posted this on Bug #83290 and attached dmesg output if that helps anyhow.
