I am pretty sure it is exactly the same, but it grabs installation packages from the internet instead of from the local CD/DVDs. Also, I wasn't sure whether you had tried passing the "acpi=off" parameter to installation bootloaders, or just to the bootloaders on your hard disk after installation. I've had some issues with certain motherboards not even booting off of installation CD/DVDs unless I pass something like "acpi=off noapic" to the boot options. So, if the boot prompt for some installation CD is is "boot: " you usually just type "linux acpi=off noapic" or "vmlinuz acpi=off noapic" or something along those lines. As for the other issues you have had, such as with KDM working/not working and the runlevels failing, they seem erratic, which many times can be hardware-related. What kind of processor do you have? Have you run memtest on your memory? Have you tested your hard disk to make sure it doesn't have bad blocks or other errors?
