If you drop into the bios, I believe there is an option called something like "Device config". Set it to "All devices", not "Setup by OS". The option may be called "PnP OS", in which case set it to no. Then I believe you can boot either with or without ACPI. This may not be the cause - i've been playing with a few different laptops recently...
