Hi Christoph,

In /etc/default/grub, make sure you add acpi=off to the line that begins: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=

So, that line should now read:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi=off"

FYI, this works for me on a Dell Inspiron 2650, the only problem being that the laptop never powers off after shutdown. You will hear the fans stop spinning, and the screen will stop animating, and then you'll have to press the power button. Everything else seems to work just fine.
