We more information then the "Somewhere" from

  0. The zeroth problem was booting. Somewhere in the help where you find
  it right away it says to use noacpi if the system hangs. I tried that
  and it didn't work. In another spot more buried (I think in the special
  parameter section) it says use acpi=off. Well, only the acpi=off worked.


So Josh,
Please point us to the "Somewhere" that needs added a comment.
